Sounds like you were eating the Spotted Salamander, Ambystoma maculatum Average size is 6 to 7 inches, spots are usualy yellew or orange. Terrestrial but migates to water to breed. These salamander are meat eaters so watch your step. ;D Ghost |

I was in the local pro shop and the owner asked if I had eaten any woodchuck, I told him I had passed on a porcupine I saw while "scouting" because Greg said they were so bad. (I also did not really want to mess with arrow removal amid the quills.) They said porcupine is called the hunters friend up here, easy to kill and tastes good.  Greg, what was that porcupine eating before you ate it? That is often the issue, like with the mud cats, and deer liver. |

I had forgotten that term "hunters friend" but that is one I have heard in the past.
Gregs dinner was a NY porcupine so that may have something to do wit it ;D

Huh?! ..... grandpa said they would never eat that (pine) unless they were starving.
I assumed that in your area the last thing that they would eat would be the lesser available tree's.
