All porcupines must die.

Porcupine ruined a great day to hunt 40degrees, no rain or snow, 8 flushes by 10:00am. Then I had to leave. My dog got a face full of quills. I found a great vet and had them out in 45min. I wanted to go back but my dog was put to sleep and after, he could barely walk out the vet's door. All porcupines must die.

Nah I agree with the OP, they should all die.

I agree I shot 2 porcupines today and my dogs didn't get near them.posting.php?mode=reply&f=81&t=38669# Both were in holes under uprooted trees just happen to look in and see them. With it being 64 degrees today they were out and about. I have had several dogs tangle with porkies over the years and never had to take them to a vet. I carry a leatherman with me. The last time it took me 35 minutes and I had help holding her down. Did manage to shoot 2 grouse but hunted all day and they were the only shots I got.

If you need brain surgery you don't go to a General Practicioner.......... I used to encounter porcis all the time until I hunted over Pointers, Britts and Setters. Only seen 1 in the last 2 years (over a shorthair) used to be 1 a week!!!!
