I used to work at the SPCA and it is Wildlife Controls issue when it comes to anything "WILD" So they should b out there with a trap for it to trap it humanly without injury to you or it.

actualy it wouldn't be there job, it would be the owners responcibility to get rid of it if it is on privat property.. best thing you could probaby do is call a pest removal company.. they might be able to at least stear you in the right direction.. might cost a bit but if you don't want to atempt it your self..

I used to rent a farm and we did things a bit differnetly.. but it was the porcupine or rish the pain to my dog if I let it stick around.. and if I tried to relocated it I would probably be the one that ended up being shot byy the farmer whos land I relocated it to.. guess growing up on a farm gives you different ideas that if you grew up in the city looking at pests on some one elses property. now I wouldn't say beet it with a shovel, that is kinda cruel, and you can shoot a shot gun in a residential area, sooo you are left with baiting it out and relocating it to goverment land or poision..

personaly in your situation I would try trapping it but make sure you drive a hell of a long ways away as it will comeback if it is close enough..

So what happened with the porcupine? I promise not to say anything after I am told

The porcupine left with some slight coaxing of salt covered tomatoes and waited until dark. We could not find anything large enough (he was huge) to trap him and there were no humane (didn't try any non-humane) pest control companies that will deal with porcupines in my area or any area close by. I did get some good pictures of him but I cannot seem to upload them here...My daughter also collected a whole lot of quills and is very excited about show and telling them.
