    Oh, I did that in high school. Coming home late at night ran over a porky. Course we lived on a rough gravel road and I never realized I'd hit anything beyond a pothole. Until the next morning when my Mom saw the carnage. Cleaning quills out of her car's front end was not fun!

    Update on this guy...he has moved on. He fell out of the tree a couple hours ago. Apparently they fall quite often and it was very windy here today! I'm not sure where he went, but I hope he went far away into the back 40...where my dogs don't go! They went nuts when he fell. Muskwa has clearly learned nothing from his six porcupine incidents! He was the most determined to get through the fence!

    I sent the pics Stuart who said it's a big male likely in his prime. Porkies have long lifespans for wild rodents since not many animals can hunt them successfully. The education Stuart doesn't use anymore was in enviroment and conservation officer so I'll take his word for that!
