Never shoot a porcupine!
If you should ever be faced with a nuisance porcupine, don't shoot it! Well, not anywhere near your home anyway. My dad had one chewing the wooden steps on the house and couldn't get rid of it, no matter what was tried. He shot it with his small shotgun and quills went everywhere. For months the dog kept getting quills in its paws regardless of cleaning up the mess. Some of those quills are so fine, you just can't see them. House is in the woods - with pine trees.
