Question
Have you done any porcupine swatting lately, or have you gotten to old?  Remember Weller Mountain, 1990?

Steve,

Those were some fun days!  No, I haven’t collected any porcupine quills using the swatting technique lately.  I did trap two skunks earlier this year (GDTV 10).  My trapping partner, Bill, got sprayed while dispatching one of the skunks.  I’m not sure I filmed that, as I was insuring the camera didn’t get sprayed.  Bill says I was simply running the other way!  I guess I did forget to grab the camera as I was moving upwind.

Growing Deer together,
