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.


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

on ebay that could be closer to $70, I sold 2.1 oz for $120 that was 7-9"
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

You jump up and down on it :chuckle: JK

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

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

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.

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.
Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is who you actually are while your reputation is merely who others think you are.

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