Visitor at work

[Nytracker]

We had a visitor at work last night.

He fell off while trying to get on another pipe

snagged him in a trash can and slid a piece  of sheet metal  underneath.  Carried him outside 

no critters or people harmed in this endeavor... porcupine  lives matter !

[grampy]

That's pretty cool! Nice work!

Porky lives do matter!

[Nytracker]

Watching all those episodes  of northwoods law payed off!

[Pygmy]

He probably walked over to Denison and got run over by a truck....

[Nytracker]

Lol only you pygmy.... only you!... we released him on the river side

[Nytracker]

Been picking up a few quills tonight ... surprised on how many he shed  I'm up to 12. We must have scattered them with our boots. I have a Couple nice length ones I'm going to tie extended body coffen flies with.

You could have given him a little tap with a piece of Styrofoam and got a lifetime's supply...

Never thought about it  was more worried about getting it out of the plant without getting it hurt or one of us getting hurt. I have a skin at home I use from time to time . I picked it up at fly fishing flea market . I have used all the bigger quills years ago

I'll skin a skunk any time, but I'd have to think awhile about skinning a porcupine...I probably could come up with a way of doing it without getting pricked TOO many times....Hehehe...

[Nytracker]

A long ... long.... long ....... handled knife

Looks like a young one.....Great ypu were able to set it free.

they are Mr Mellow of the animal world. I scooped up a little one outside of work that was chowing down on acorns, and brought him home to show my son. We back up to woods, so after a short visit I took him to the back yard where there were alot more oaks. he was happy to just explore the back yard for a day or so, and didnt worry about us at all.
