Porkies aren't protected, though, and there's no need to take a closer look before shooting.

Depeneds on where you live.

From: http://www.gf.state.az.us/i_e/pubs/ArizonaPorcupines.shtml

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.

I remember when I was a young kid, a friend of my father told me that porcupines were protected in most of the northern New England states, the upper midwestern states and several Canadian provinces. I never checked into it, but his story was that they were protected because they were the only mammal that a man in a survival situation could reliably kill without a firearm.

In most states these days, anything not classified as a game animal is protected unless it is specifically designated as a nuisance.

They're not protected in Idaho. You just need a hunting license and the stamina to track them for many miles to hunt them. grin

His mentor on this hunt should pay the price. He to should have his lic taken away for some time. Maybe he'll learn what he's hunting in the future. No excuses.

Well, I'm not certain of the regs is Idaho (read: too lazy to look them up) but don't you have to have the hide sealed and skull examined (tooth extracted for age determination) anyway. My point is, he was necessarily going to bring the evidence into the fish and game department anyway.

Around here turning yourself in will get you a lot of leniency. Are grizzly bears an endangered species in Idaho?

Yes, Idaho requires that the hide and skull be taken to an IDFG office for tagging. Dumping the carcass will get you in a much deeper hole than admitting you screwed up.

They're endangered everywhere in the lower 48 where they're found. The feds MIGHT delist them in the near future but of course the anti's are fighting it. If they do, ID, MT, and WY will divy up the available tags and sell them for a very high price.

The late Dr. Charles Jonkel, considered for many years one of the top bear biologists on the planet, once said that even highly trained biologists couldn't always tell a grizzly from a black bear just by looking at one on the wild. Even some he darted during his research fooled him, and he handled hundreds of bears in his lifetime.

I saw one time either an 8 foot brown black bear or maybe it was a grizzly, I was never quite sure. Either way it would have been nice to tag that one......

Good grief, that is pretty close to shooting an elk and thinking it was a mule deer.


It's not uncommon to have elk shot as mule deer. New hunters do it frequently, and we had several cases of that here in NV.

I took a guy who was about thirty years old hunting for his first doe hunt. I grew up reading the hunting and fishing magazines so I knew what I was looking for the first time. We jumped a herd of elk and this guy jerks up his rifle.
"Wait! Wait!" I exclaimed. "What are ya doin?"
"Well, we're here to hunt aren't we?"
"We're here to shoot a doe deer. Did you notice the color on those animals and their size?"
"Yea."
"You noticed they are about the size of a horse?"
"Yea."
"Well we are looking for something about the size of a very large German shepherd dog about the color of a tan chihuahua, okay?"
"Got it," he said.

So did he get his chihuahua?
