Can tell you a story about porcupines. They are tough, tough critters! I bought my first piece of land in 1987. A 40, all woods. I was enthralled with it. Then I noticed something was eating all the bark off the tops of my oak trees. Killing them right and left. I called the DNR and asked them about it and they said that while porcupines were somewhat protected in MN there was a huge over population of them that year and to just quietly do the SSS on a few of them. So I took out several of them with my .38 One day I went up to my land and there was one in an oak tree right in the clearing I had made for a cabin. But I had forgot to bring the .38 So I climbed up the tree - about 30' up and shook the porky out of the limb he was on. He bounced about 5' when he hit the ground. Then immediately climbed up another tree - before I could get back down the ground. So I shinnied up that tree and shook him out of it and he bounced again and went right back up another tree - before I could get down. So I climbed that tree and shook him out. This time I almost got down before he could climb another as he was slowing down. But so was I. He still beat me up the tree before I could get him. I was about tuckered out from climbing but my adrenaline was pumping so I went on up and shook him out again. This time I got back down before he could climb again and took him out with a club. Whew. I was completely worn out. No way I could have climbed another tree.
