-- Porkies in P.A.?? (http://forums.ukcdogs.com/showthread.php?threadid=372319)

We use hemostats and needle nosed pliers. Both worked fine for us, but we have never had to pull quills more then 2 or 3 times. Well except for the neighbors dog, who must really hate them a lot, he goes out looking for them and I guess is darn good at it, as we have had to pull quills from him 9 or 10 times since last year.

I bekong to the meadville club. I have also lived here and hunted here all of my 34 years. I have never run into a porkie. I know you might run into one somewhere out of the club but You gotta better chance of treeing a coon than finding a porkie. Some of the posts on here make it sound like you can't go out the door without stepping on a pin cushon. I hope you decide to make the run north cause you'll have a good time.

Thanks.................

Since this post came out I have seen 2 road killed porkypines right around my hunting spots. Hopefully my dog learned her lesson the first time because I don't feel like contributing any more money to my Vets kids college fund!!!!!

Yeah Im looking forward to coming up there to hunt. I guess it is no different than dog running a deer, coyote, fox or treeing a possum down here, I dont a have any problems treeing a coon here so it shouldnt be any different there. In some places here where I hunt there are alot of Beavers and have seen other peoples dogs bay them, but myself have never had a problem with it. So maybe they want mess with a porkie.

The problem isn't really treeing them it's when they catch them on the ground when it gets ugly. I've never had a problem with the dogs treeing them even years ago when I lived in north central PA.

today first thing my walker found one that cut the day short

Quills/eye

Maine is loaded with them.along the coast is the worst.they enjoy the salt on the ocean coast.From what I've see most dogs will dive right on one if they have a chance.Have one male that lost a eye to them quills.He had to have two surguries and I still pulled 30+ quills after that.His eye was deadend do to the trauma.We kill all ours in apple orchards in the fall.during the day.They will be treed around the out skirts of the orchard.Bring lots of ammo!

I think he's referring to wrapping the dog in a blanket so it's easier to hold it down while you're attempting to pull quills.
