This persecution of porcupines continued through the 1950s and 1960s until 1972, when a wildlife manager in Flagstaff named Wayne Anderson recommended that the season be closed on what was no longer a problem animal. Almost no one objected, and the Arizona Game and Fish Commission agreed: Conditions had changed. The porcupine was no longer a noxious animal and has remained a protected species in Arizona ever since.

James Pepper: There's no law west of Dodge and no God west of the Pecos. Right, Mr. Chisum? John Chisum: Wrong, Mr. Pepper. Because no matter where people go, sooner or later there's the law. And sooner or later they find God's already been there.
