Did you eat it? If so, how was it?

That will make a great looking skull. What do you do with the hide?

Post by: Potoo on November 08, 2011, 07:54:00 AM: My son ran one over a couple of months ago...and got a flat tire! I can't imagine trying to skin one or tan it. But eating it would be 'only' if I had to.

We cooked one up once, but ate the beef first and never got around to even a taste. Mostly back legs as I recall. Like turkey drumsticks.
The quills are a big thing with First Nations, quill work, looks great on a knife sheath.

Post by: KentuckyTJ on November 25, 2011, 09:20:00 AM: Nice work. I had a bird dog come back full of quills in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan once. We held him down for 30 minutes pulling them out with pliers.

Post by: Tracks on December 28, 2011, 05:16:00 PM: I hear you can de-quill them (the actual porcupine, not a dog) quickly with a piece of styrafoam, but I haven't tried it personally.
