Porcupine Killed by Willow City Rancher Henry Kirk
Henry Kirk, a Willow City rancher, killed a porcupine about 50 yards from his home on Sunday night after his two dogs treed the animal up a black jack tree. The porcupine fell to the ground as the dogs attacked, leaving quills in the dogs’ noses and heads. The female porcupine appeared to have nursing young, suggesting local porcupines may exist in the area despite their usual northern range.
