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

Title: Re: Looking for porcupine hair
Post by: Evil_EdwardO 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.

How do you get the hair off the porcupine?
Title: Re: Looking for porcupine hair
Post by: carpsniperg2 on May 14, 2013, 10:23:45 PM
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.

How do you get the hair off the porcupine?

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.

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