Bet y'all ain't ever done this!!!

I've run into a few out hunting when I was starting some pups. They didn't mess with them, just kinda hung around for a minute and went on. Now, having said that, I had one walk up to the back yard, climb thru the fence and meander through the yard. Again the dogs really didn't know what to think of it until one tried to smell it a little closer and got slapped. After that the fight was on for sure. In the end, the porcupine lost, the dogs lost and I lost. My bmc's had only a handful of quils each cause I called them off right when it happened, but one of the crossed up dogs I had ended up stretched in the back of the truck with his mouth tied open for about 2 hours till I got them all out. Of the dogs I've seen get into them I hadn't seen one lose an eye. Maybe because they go at it with an open mouth not exposing their eyes to a direct shot or maybe just luck.
