PORCUPINES
The farm I hunt on has a small 1/2 acre of I believe hemlocks, half the trees have been damaged by the porcupines, anyone have any tricks for either trapping or eliminating them?

Re: PORCUPINES
Porcupines can be real pricks. Maybe if you trap them they will get the point.

Re: PORCUPINES
If you find one up in a tree do not stand or walk under it. I have seen them fall out of trees from pretty high up without suffering any injuries. This is the best time of the year to find them out during the day.

Re: PORCUPINES
They are mean animals. They do not get much sex. When they do, it is very very carefully.

Re: PORCUPINES
Not sure when the season is for them but they are suppose to be real good eating if you have a hunting license

Re: PORCUPINES
Thanks for the replies. I've read where they seem to like salt and you can bait them with it in traps. It was sad to see what they did tothe trees, they got ta go.

Re: PORCUPINES
You can hunt them and they have a season. You coukd talk to your local WCO about trap and transfer if they are causing damage. Originally Posted by Qtrborecrazy
