Wayne,

That's too bad about your scope.. It would have been fun to get a hog, but then he wouldn't have gotten a porcupine and we wouldn't have that video of George shooting that hog I'm the hiney  ;D >:D And looney tunes song would have been perfect...

Nope I didn't get any pork-- you and Patrick hogged it all... Heeee heeee..

     Yeah, Cipriano, I was a bit upset to say the least.  A friend of mine is a lawyer, and he said a warranty is no guarantee, that they can weasel out of repairing it.  She did give me an address to send it to for repair, but I am not going to pay what I paid for it again, and the fact that Gen. 3 tubes are far and few between.  It was a cool scope when it worked.  anyway, I will do what I can to stop an increase in business for Osprey.  You say Diego got a Porcupine?  :o  Well eat the porcupine. :P  Going to do some quill work?  The Looney Tunes tune would have been a neat touch, especially at the end when he shot the hog, the ...."abee abee abee, that's all folks"   Anywho, you better get back over there and get that bag of meat, and some sausage. ;)  How big was the porcupine?  I seen one in eastern Montana, and it was huge! :o  Well get back over to the feeder, and get a hog.  Good luck next time. ;)  Oh, yeah, keep the porcupine out of the freezer, a snake is bad enough, but the wife might draw the line at a porcupine. ::) ;D ;D

Once the porcupine is skinned, then you come to the easy part. 

Brine in a solution of 2 cups salt per gallon of water, 36 hours for a quill-pig under 10 lbs, 48 hrs for larger animals.  Smoke at 180 degrees until meat in the center of the thigh reaches 165 degrees.  Chill, slice, and serve with selection of crackers and cheeses.  Wine recommendations include Pinot Noir, Malbec, or (of course) dry Champagne. 

p.s. porcupine is proof that a beavers and cacti can and do interbreed!

Stickbender, Cipriano sent me some porcupine pictures.  The first 3 are of Diego's porcupine.  The last 2 are of a pit bull in Stephenville that got into a porcupine.  He said they removed 1300 quills from the dog, and it recovered.  Probably not so for the porcupine.  Our porcupine are pretty small.  The quills are about as large as round toothpicks.

     I think that was one that was on the internet sometime back.  The Pit bull just didn't have sense enough to stop.
It is a wonder it wasn't blinded.  Those spines have tiny barbs pointing backward, and they will actually work themselves in deeper.  They can cause a nasty infection also.  Yeah, that is the size I am used to seeing, but the one I saw in Montana could eaten that one!  I actually thought it was a hog, and I didn't know of any wild hogs in Montana, and thought maybe it was from a ranch, but then it finally worked it's way through some ravines,and arroyos, and I was able to see it more clearly in the scope.  This was just at dusk, and I was trying to use the last of the light to get a Mule Deer.  Never got one. :(
But let us know how it tastes.

Hey Paul, got any open weekends in July?  I haven't picked my "fill the feeder"s date to go out there again, but didn't fill them this time so I have to go back.  If you have a weekend open and are up for getting together in the heat we'll make the next get together when you can be there.  Otherwise my next trip out there will likely be the weekend after the 4th of July.

You ought to check out BSA's green laser for night shooting. It clamps on top of your regular scope and you can shoot out to 300 yards. We are using it down here for yotes and hogs and it is around $300. It works real good.

 If you have to pull the trigger, is it really archery?

Really? Our hogs won't tolerate any light on them. White, red or green; color doesn't matter. That's why I got the night vision. They get used to a feeder light in time, but I wanted to be able to hunt away from the feeders.
