Porcupine makes sense, and one of the few mammals I didn't Google. The legs are too short for a bear cub too. Damn, that thing could have gotten me if it was falling/scared. It probably would have scared me as much as it!!

And yep, I just googled them, and about 99% sure it is a porcupine.

I have seen dogs that got into them, and it is brutal. Hopefully he decides to keep it moving, because that tree has a notch about 2/3rds through the base, and I have another smaller maple already cut that is inter-grown, so they are both ready to come down. Maybe a good storm will roll through and save me some work!

No cooking, Sunday night pizza, being delivered by the roomy.

Hey, I've eaten Porcupine several times & it ain't bad done in a crock pot w/ veggies.
Skinning can be a bit dicy fyi. :D

No other delicious animals available?
I've actually had many unconventional animal meats, Porcupine is not my personal favorite but it is palatable as is Beaver (LOL).
When living in interior Alaska we ate Lynx (my favorite of small game), Wolf and a plethora of other critters - I tried most all of them & many became a staple on the table.

Ok. What are the housing accommodations like?
due to covid and current economic situation, each trimmer must bring their own sleeping bag and either sleep out under the stars or in our luxurious 40ft shipping container. We can have water and toilet facilities and since we are so remote and off grid we can provide an occasional mule ride off the property and up the hill a few miles to receive cell service.
