They do, my brother and I killed this one in Comstock. I found the porcupine hide which that is all that was left if it and some guts. The lion had the quills all in his face and lips when I finally put my hands on him.

The wildlife biologist in the county told me that 70% of their diet is porcupine. I couldn’t believe it! He said with the deer population and porcupine population in the area they are not hurting for food. He definitely made a kill that night at my feeder because i am seeing so many turkey vultures at my feeder now.
Crazy story: about 4-5 months ago I was at the ranch by myself. I usually feed some foxes and raccoons from my cabin. When done with dinner I throw out the leftovers about 20 - 30 yards from my porch. I love seeing the animals at that cabin and they are “off limits” when at the cabin. I woke up at about 3AM needing to pee. I walked outside on my front deck. Started to pee and I heard a roar! It scared the **** out of me!! I froze; and listened for any sound. Yea there was nothing! I have startled many pigs out there, they are noisy as hell getting out of there. This was different. No sounds. Just a load heart curdling roar. I waited for you hat seem like forever, buy it was probably only 1-2 min. Then i grabbed my flashlight, nothing! In my mind i thought bobcat or lion. I really thought it was a mountain Lion. But after a while I thought ok your still drunk It was nothing. Now it all seems perfectly clear. It was a mountain lion.
Never in a million years would i have thought I would get great pictures of one on my property!
I hope he/she has a good life. I will not shoot it unless it starts killing livestock in the area, would rather it breed so my grandchildren can see and appreciate what they do for the ecosystem.
I know other will say otherwise and if or when you have he opportunity do what you want. My opinion is mine.
