Joel and Doug hunting at Kent's family property. Joel took the "pond" stand and saw 8+ deer including a large buck. Doug was at the "creek" stand and saw his usual zero. Joel took no shots.. As Doug was leaving his stand, he took the wrong path on the way out, so he got lost for 10 minutes and was late getting out. Taking advantage of his lateness, Joel hid in the brush near the truck and imitated a pig as Doug walked by and startled him. He elicited a "whoa" from Doug; but what he really wanted was for him to scream like a 12 year old girl. (Sorry, but there's already one 12 year old girl in the group so another wasn't necessary).
Mike and Eric were hunting food plot 5. Mike was in the tree right at the opening of the food plot and Eric was in LOLA (little oak, little acorns). Eric observed a fight between a porcupine and a cougapine (aka: porkugar). While it was the shape of a porcupine, it had agile catlike moves while running across the plot to attack the porcupine. Mike witnessed this from a distance and confirmed sighting of large unknown mammal, approx 300 lbs and 5 ft tall. The porcupine was scared and climbed up LOLA beneath Eric; causing Eric to climb down the tree. Upon leaving the tree, Eric made a beeline to Mike to avoid being pounced on by the quick and agile cougapine.
Needless to say, Mike and Eric spotted no deer with the cougapine around.
