Do Bear Bells Work on Porcupines?

It was a quiet morning on Perseverance Trail...  Maybe the bear bell really works!

I took the turn off for Ebner Falls this morning and was rewarded with this view of the top...

I headed back to the main trail thinking i would go a little further before heading home, when i saw a porcupine walking towards me.  I kept walking towards it trying to get a better picture, thinking that at any second it would hear the bell or see me and turn around.  I got pretty close (closer than it looks in the picture, i think my phone/camera zooms out!) before he suddenly saw me, turned around and showed me his quills...


It was a nice quiet hike compared to yesterday afternoon, but ti think i like the trail better this way...
