We have far too many of them at our place in Val Verde County (even one would be too many, IMO). Both of our dogs got tangled up with one a few years ago, and our female got tangled up with one the day before opening day of deer season last year. That stupid porcupine was the size of a freaking watermelon. We have a few that show up at least once every week or two on our game cams. You don't want them on your place, especially if you have dogs; those are some expensive vet bills.

Shot one south of Sweetwater several years ago but hunt Lamar County now. Never seen one out there.

Just got my bill from the vet clinic this morning for porky incident described earlier. Cost was $135, I just hope the gyp learned something.
Adios,
Gary

Erath CTY has them. If I see one he dies. FIL had one on his back porch. He beat it with a cane until it expired. Then took the quills to his friend in Gruene who sold them on Craigslist. Who would have known?

Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.

My cousin lives outside of Littlefield and has a boxer that loves porcupines. So far they've had to take him to the vet 5 times and they think there's some kind of drug associated with it that he's getting addicted to. I don't know as I've never seen one or know the physiology of them but, dang.  I'd have to shoot that dog.....

Lots of porcupines on our place near Abilene. During the drought, they were hammering the house area because it was the only green area in vicinity. They would strip the bark on lower half of trees and actually killed 2-3 oaks.

Saw one on Monday evening at my feeder from my blind. The property is in Kaufman county near Kemp. My two nephews were with me in the blind and were amazed to see one in Kaufman county, I was too.
