I should also clarify that one of the 5 or so porcupines that my brittany found, one was dead. He was dead for quite a while, but when he got downwind, he made a beeline for the carcass. I knew something wasn't right, (he quit quartering) when I got close I could smell the carcass too. Cash went up quickly, I was to far back to see what it was, (it was in a clearing with mature trees around the clearing) but I could see cash start to put his head down, I yelled no, hit my shock button, but he already had gotten a few quills in his muzzle and a few in one front leg. I was able to pull all those out. I don't know if he would of even smelled that dead porcupine if it had not been dead so long. I asked my brittany breeder, and he said a lot of dogs will make a beeline for dead porkies easier than live ones because the smell is stronger. Thats when I decided to bury anything I shot without my dog around to watch. Hope this makes better sense. Thanks, Ed
