I love Spring in the northwoods, you see so much wildlife at this time.
Two pairs of Trumpeter swans visited our lake. They are beautiful and very loud.
I am glad i spotted this critter before my GSP did.
This is the general fishing opener weekend in Wisconsin. I am seeing tons of trucks hauling boats to the northern lakes.

#4Hard to say Jake. He is a smart dog, too smart at times, but he loses his s%*t when going after either and won't stop until kills it.
So he is in a bad way in either event. The skunk smell is so overpowering, it is hard to keep your food down, I am gagging constantly when cleaning him (soap and hydrogen peroxide). After the porcupine, I have to pin him on the garage floor (as to not get blood and quills all over the house) and start pulling with a pliers. He gets quills in his nose, tongue, gums, mouth, paws - I don't know how he has kept them out of his eyes, his face looks like a pin cushion.
I'll go with the porcupine as being worse, by a nose (pun intended).
