The Midnight Hunt
Last night we went on a reconnaissance drive for our upcoming Ladies' Overnight. Since it became quite late, we slept at the farm. After we were nicely settled down for the night, we heard a chewing sound. So we picked up the flashlight (I had to go because holding the flashlight is my job!), put on our shoes and went looking for the culprit. It seems that porcupines think the wood of our porch is tasty! We found the guy out in the yard and did what we could to remedy the problem. We were nicely nestled down in bed again when I said, "Paul, I hear chewing again." We decided that one hunting excursion a night was enough. So we rolled over and went to sleep. It is a good thing that we took that drive, because I had to change our plans a bit for Friday with the ladies.

Oh dear! You better kill them all before we come!!!!!
You've been busy! ;) Kim;D x's
Gail, if you would like to consider an N.B. "Wildlife Tour" for your ladies, I would be glad to be placed on the itinerary. My dear kitty of 18 years provenance 'paw delivered' a mouse to me in bed this morning!!!!! My level of rejoicing had no where to go but UP! May your porcupine rest in peace!

We were putting you on flashlight detail, Sara!
Glad to see you are back, Kim. Yes, busy is the word here! Aching too from gardening. :) Wonder why I like it so much!?
You'll have to offer bigger game than that, Liz! Ha, ha!
Your story takes me back 40 years to a little green mobile home in MN. I often heard chewing and squeaking in the middle of the night as we caught the 24 mice during the fall and winter. Cher
Cheryl, a porcupine GNAWING on your porch floor sounds A LOT different than a little mouse chewing, believe me! We have the mice too! :)
Sounds nasty....we've got black squirrels right now in the unfinished part of our home.....silly things make a lot of noise....and have knocked down quite a bit of construction lumber (I think they like to play on the piles) We've caught 5 so far......and have found 2 other traps eaten appart :-( We're looking forward to seeing the end of them!
I hope that you catch your pest :-)
