About porcupines as mentioned its tasty but most importantly you can easily kill one with a stick, if you spot one its no problem catching up to it.

I dont' see many porcupines around here but they are there, at least the dogs manage to find them !

As for any animal around properties/pets/livestock etc. that cause damage...well that's a no brainer.
 
BITUMEN.............a word of advice here as you are obviously very new to this forum. What you have been doing on these last 2 or 3 pages is called "trolling" and will get your a$$ booted by the mods if you're not careful.

You mind your own.
 
We used to head shoot squirrels (red) and sell the processed hides (25 cents apiece),,,,they had a raunchy odour ,,,,the dog wouldn't even touch them ..but he ate a lot of rabbits and partridge guts.
Shot a wolf a few years ago from the shooting shack on my sons farm....took it to one of the local trappers .He said they weren't worth the time or effort to skin them out .Took it back to the "bone yard " on the kid's place .....the ravens,eagles and magpies wouldn't touch it for weeks after .... I assume that the birds figured that the wolf was playing "possum"...they finally started to feed on the carcass after it was covered with snow for a while.
I have no qualms about shooting anything that I consider a nuisance animal or bird and leaving it in the bush......nothing goes to waste in nature.

Squirrels in "hide" season have been eating pine cones, hence the smell, I remember it well from when I was a kid skinning sqirrels for cash.;) I would imagine squirrels harvested when they still have dried berries and grass-type seeds to eat wouldn't be nearly so bad. But I haven't tried it myself.
 
Here in Alberta it's quite normal to kill magpies, coyotes, gophers and crows for fun. These animals are pests and coyotes especially have been know to attack dogs, livestock and even people. Rare but it happens.
