I always hate when we have to go hands on with someone who is bleeding and no time to glove up.
Last time was a trip to the hospital and they gave me the round of cocktails |

Yeah, but I have to use a crowbar to get them out of their BMWs, so I just leave my gloves with the crowbar.
On a serious note, yes, but I'll have a set of gloves within 10-20 seconds of me if not on me. Available: deerskin leather work gloves, deerskin insulated leather gloves, leather mechanic gloves, m-pact mechanics gloves, uniform gloves, nitrile gloves. All in the car. |

I had a basket ball size snapping turtle in my basement window well. I tried every idea to get it out. I finally lassoed the top shell with a piece of rope and pulled it straight up. That was one angry snapping turtle. I took it back to the river where I let it go.

There's no restrictions on killing porcupines in NY. I've never actually gone out and tried to kill one though.

I have eaten the greasy fuckers, cooked over coals, open fire.
Strong gamey flavor, greasy like pork belly, Just how you would imagine a really big RAT would taste. The HEART was best part, tasted just exactly like a Turkey heart. Porcupine is damn sure not any delicacy, but will keep you alive. |

TLDR I once shot a porcupine in the middle of the night while naked.
About twenty years ago I was awoken by some noise. As I listened I made out the unmistakable sound of something chewing on the house. I jumped out of bed and flipped on the front spots to have a look. Well the lights must have startled the culprit, it was a good sized porc and he was waddling off down the road as fast as he could. So I throw on my flip flops and grabbed the Marlin 22Mag bolt action tubular fed as well as a flashlight and went out to give chase. I caught up to him about 40 yards down the road and lit him up with the light. He was dispatched with a 22mag to the brain bucket. I then looked up back toward the house at the lights and then I slowly looked down, I was naked. |

My dad had a cabin on the Allegheny River. One night going out to the outhouse a porcupine ran in front of me and up a tree.
Got a flashlight, a 45 and an extension ladder. Leaned it on the tree and climbed up so I was just under the limb it was on and then shot it. When it feel off the limb it missed me by an inch. |

Pretty much always have gloves, shoves and pliers with me for picking up stuff. I did learn a lesson about keeping boots nearby after breaking a rifle on a charging wounded raccoon. Seemed like a better idea than kicking him with a pair of crocs on.

Biggest porcupine I ever saw was in Kunar province back in Marawara Valley. Was walking in at night to check out roads for some follow on stuff we wanted to do and all the sudden two massive porcupines rolled out in the middle of the road fighting or screwing and made the weirdest noises then ran off into the wheat. Captain wanted to go check out the house they came out of. Nah man, I don't need dick high porcupine problems in my life, you go check it out.

There's no restrictions on killing porcupines in NY. I've never actually gone out and tried to kill one though. None here in Michigan either. Two reasons....they are pretty destructive; they will live in a single white pine all winter, girdle the tree and ruin it. They will also winter in your cabin or camp and chew hell out of everything. The second reason always intrigued me as a kid.....they are the only animal easily killed with a club. It was always said they were handy if a trapper was lost and hungry, and needed meat. An old timer I hunt with kills every one he see's. The quills on a large one make awesomely sensitive ice fishing bobbers. He also skins them out, removes the glends, and roasts them in a cast iron roaster. They aren't bad at all. |

I had to tell my FIL to keep his bare hands off of the rabid skunk I had shot.
it took 3 times to get him to understand that he needed to leave it the fuck alone. I was using a shovel to get it into a trash bag, and thought he should "help".
