A Sticky Situation...


My brother David and I were out checking the trap line. We were at a beaver set and he looked across the eddie and there was a porcupine sitting in a tree. Since I was wearing hip waders I crossed down stream about a hundred yards and trudged through the snow to shoot him.


Porcupines are a great catch because they are hard to get, usually trappers even pick up the road kill ones to get the guard hairs. In fact I have done it myself. They sell for $30 an ounce.
