Dang it! I knew that somebody out there would have a use for all of those porcupines that I've shot.

All this time I've just been leaving the hide and guts for the coyotes.

Now I'll need to go out and get a few more porcupines. This sounds like a job for the 375 Ruger!

how much hair do you get off your av porcupine ??

Evil_EdwardO · « **Reply #12 on:** April 18, 2013, 01:53:05 PM »

I have about 1 1/4 oz, about 8inches in length. How much would that be worth? I don't know if I want to get rid of it, but might if the price is right.

one-eyed Ross · « **Reply #13 on:** April 22, 2013, 01:50:00 PM »

I'd guess $25 bucks if the prices are what they used to be.

How do you get the hair off the porcupine?

carpsniperg2 · « **Reply #18 on:** May 14, 2013, 10:23:45 PM »

You jump up and down on it

JK

You just grab the hair and give it a good yank. Small tuff's at a time.

buglebuster · « **Reply #19 on:** May 14, 2013, 10:40:55 PM »

Can you kill year round?

Let it sit out for a few days. Longer in colder weather. Then the hairs pull out rather easily.

Evil_EdwardO · « **Reply #22 on:** May 15, 2013, 12:16:59 PM »

Grab a few at the ends and pull. Pulls out real easy.
Don't grab to close to body or you get some under fur mixed in and it is a pain to sort. Also, make sure they are all in the same direction (like my pict earlier in this thread) or the hairs aren't worth anything.

turkeyfeather · « **Reply #23 on:** May 15, 2013, 12:23:54 PM »

I saw a fresh porcupine kill while turkey hunting a couple days ago. I will see when I go back to that spot if it's still there. If so I will see what I can get if your interested.

CampbellsCamp · « **Reply #24 on:** June 26, 2013, 06:33:21 PM »

yes i do believe you can kill year round

TwoSixFourWins · « **Reply #25 on:** August 29, 2013, 10:25:10 PM »

Just don't leave them in your pickup in the summer heat for a week after you pluck them.

powwowoutfitterstaxi · « **Reply #26 on:** October 25, 2013, 04:06:27 PM »

We're still buying hair so if you have some let us know.
