porcupines in pike county?

[NathanB]

Im fairly certain I had one of these cross the road in front of me the other night when i was driving home. I didnt get a good look but it was either a large raccoon or a monstrous size possum if it was not a porcupine. it went a good 40 pounds Id say.

has anyone else came across a porcupine in pike? more speciifically the dingmans ferry milford area? if it was it was defniitely a first for me.

They are all over this general area. I have seen several alive and dead in my 36 years here.

Good to know was definitely cool to see I've seen more bear than them lol

I'd probably bet cash money that it was a porcupine, I have actually seen more in the last 4 years of commuting in Wayne/Pike counties than I have seen in the previous 25 years of my life. Routes 402 and 6 are my regular routes and I'd say in the last year I have probably seen 5 dead on the road.

We see them here in Bushkill every once in a while. One was hit and killed in the road just up from my house last year.

Its good to know I'm not crazy. My only other thought was it was a rabid possum or coon. It was huge too so it was a good thing it wasnt

Don't forget beaver, with all the swamps drying out they have been on the move also. As for bears I've seen 9 different bears in 6 weeks. 2 right in my backyard.

I saw a fisher this summer and only two bear as well. Very slow year for the bear

Know a man that runs hounds for bobcat and he said they jumped a bunch of fishers last year. This is around Gouldsboro.
