Yes, shoot 'em all.  The quills and hair can be worth some money.  I remember someone posting on here to buy them some time ago.  Try searching the site.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

yeah ive looked everywhere on the site.  i know theyre not listed under protected species in the regs, so i guess that will have to be good enough huh?  saw a big one a while back on the edge of a field and was thinking what a cool mount it would make.  just didnt want to take one into a taxidermist and be told i f****d up

Cant seem to track down the law now, but any animal not protected or listed as a game animal or furbearer can be hunted year round with no limit with a valid hunting license.

Pulled quills a few weeks ago from over 60 head of heifers from a damn porky.  Found him a few days later with the mower. 

NOT a porky fan....

I kill the piss out of them a few weeks back we went out and got 6 in 3 trips. I kill a ton of them every year. I also target them and know how to find them.

---But of course... you do not "wantanly waste" them right?
Cause, the law states it's ok to harvest them, but if you're caught throwing away, or wasting the animal, VERY stiff fines could follow, including loss of hunting privilages, FOREVER!

Basically, like your dad allways said, don't kill want you don't intend to eat.
B.T.W. Porcupines are delicious, or so I hear.  ;O)
