Up close with a porcupine
Jan 9, 2018 15:03:11 #
jredick's post of a porcupine in a tree reminded me of our encounter. A few years ago a bold porcupine would set up between 10:00 AM and 3:00PM near the intersection of ski trails by the Supreme Lift at Alta, Utah. Everyone would provide treats until a tourist provided fingers with the treats. His complaints resulted in the Forest Service "relocating" the porcupine.

Hey Mike, yours is better looking than mine! Never knew they could be so habituated to human encounters. Nice series, thanks for sharing!!

Very cute. This guy looks innocent enough. I can understand why someone might try to pet it.

If the Forest Service had given us a choice, we would have had the tourist "relocated." Thanks for looking
