My dogs have run in to them quail hunting in the panhandle and I've seen them in Frio county. I thought they were all over the state.

Our neighbors dogs chase everything. They spent hours picking the quills out after they found the porcupines.

None in east TX - always assumed it was an east/west thing.

that is getting way south, thought that would be too hot for them. I used to see them in NM, really surprised me to see them around Vernon.

I've seen several in east Texas and several in the hill country

Saw one last week in blanco county

They are much more common than what people think but they mainly come out at night

I used to see quite a few but they have seemed to have slowed down lately.

I was born and raised in the Nacogdoches/Rusk/Houston county area. Have hunted there all my life (52 years.)Thousands and thousands of hours in the woods, day and night. Multiply that by all my friends, family, and everyone else I have come in contact with, because I have never seen a porcupine there and never heard of anyone who has - at least in those three counties.

Not saying they are not there but, if they are, they must be exceedingly rare. Or ghosts. smile

Are the quills any good for anything other than decorative purposes?

They're good for ruining a quail hunt.
