Thanksgiving Day Rec-climb with a prickly-buddy

[Widow Shooter]

Me and Lou headed to a spot I used to bowhunt, I remembered some big old fence-row trees being there...

Was a cool day, sunny and the fall colours are coming on strong

we get to some trees, and I spy a nice sugar maple 100 yards away.

We go look and a porcupine is chillin' about 50 feet up.

I decided we should climb it and get some pics of the rascal up close and personal

As I'm getting my friction saver set, the little devil pissed on us, just missed the throwline...lol and them things piss A LOT!

so we got up there, took some pics of him, Lou was loving it big time" oh look, he's soooo cute, look how he scratches himself". I think he liked her too, he was making little noises at her, kinda like a celly on vibrate

here are some pics

[Lou]

he was soooo cute

 

[Widow Shooter]

our TIPS, Some beauty fall colours, and a pic of the damage this poor sugar maple has sustained by these porcupines, in an earlier life, I would have smoked him without thought....but it was fun to interact with it, and watch it interact with us

I thought she had a Fatty, too. Is it a Freudian spliff?

 

[Greenhorn]

How were you so confident that he/she wasnt going to let loose on you??

 

[Widow Shooter]

How were you so confident that he/she wasnt going to let loose on you??

I'm part Algonquin, i can talk to them they are pacifists, and just want to eat and chill out, he seemed quite comfortable with us after awhile, even took a nap while we ate...lol

 

[Widow Shooter]

does this really look like something that is "gonna let loose " on us? cute lil fella

 

[sotc]

Let loose like "shoot" his quills?

 

[Widow Shooter]

Let loose like "shoot" his quills?

mhm Willie....you didn't know they can shoot them???? you would be surprised how many old "veteran" outdoorsman here still think that too, even 'lil Lou knew they don't...

 

[Lou]

what do u mean even I knew they dont....r u saying im not usually intelligent?:what:

 

[SkwerI]

I think that was in reference to your young age, not your level of intelligence. Read the rest of the sentence.

Why do women always twist comments around into insults when they aren't meant to be insults?

 

[canadiantreeman]

Cuz then we say...oh no sorry sweetie pie...and trip all over ourselves to make it right and they like that part...I think

 

[Lou]

so just cuz im young i dont know things? lmao im 20 not 2... and as for these many old "veteran" outdoorsman who didnt know... clearly it has nothing to do with age...
