Took the kids for a small game hunt over the weekend. Kids were pretty good and quite as we walked around the bush. To the point we ended up walking into a porcupine and the kids followed it as it walked away.

Nice to see kids in the outdoors instead of glued to some electronic device!

Have to agree with that mate. Last weekend I came upon an Echidna…sorta like an Aussie porcupine.

Porcupine's are pretty cool critters. I'd never kill one. Adolescents will sometimes let you pet them. If you've ever heard a baby Porcupine cry... its un-nerving. They sound just like a human baby.

It seemed pretty laid back and non-threatening. It seemed more interested in slowly walking away then facing us.
Apparently they can't run, pregnancy lasts over 6 months to produce one offspring, they can live for 30 years and apparently are attracted to anything salty including worn work gloves and plywood.
After reading about them, I am inclined to agree with Dallan, I'll probably never kill one.
