Title: Back from Idaho..........
Post by: SAM E. STEPHENS on October 02, 2012, 11:24:00 PM: We had a big time as always , I sure love hunting in Idaho....

First one down for me was a muledeer buck my first one and sure proud of him....

Then my hunting buddy Felix rolls into town and steals the show with his Black Widows , the man is a great hunter and can shoot also , first he gets this great bull....

After Felix heads back to Texas I get me a Whitetail buck......

Then a few days later I get a big ol porcupine , always wanted one mounted , I think he will make a cool mount....

Post by: KentuckyTJ on October 05, 2012, 02:05:00 PM: Fantastic stuff Sam. Please post a pic of the finished Porcupine that will be unique!

I had a pointer that got into a tussle with one up in the U.P. on a grouse hunt a few years back. I held the dog down for about 25 minutes and pulled quills out of him with my Gerber. They were about 30 inside the dogs mouth. It was not a good situation.
