With the US so divided, I'm just glad to be on the side that believes in God, has the most guns, and knows which restroom to use.

But,but,but, we don’t got lions, or at least the Dnr says we don’t. But we have lots on bobcats. I would buy into the cat theory since they outcompeted fishers and pushed them south in WI. I read the other day that cats have no fear of snakes because they’re reflexes are faster than a snake can strike.

I don’t see them in western Oregon anymore, or very few. I used to see them all the time. Cougars are over abundant here too

Resurfaced this thread; one of the most interesting designs is Quills made into " rosette flower designs" some are dyed and make for some very nice art work. It is a big ticket selling item in Churchill Manitoba especially when the polar bear tours are on.
Is it a northern First Nations or Inuit regular item ?
salted dried fully quilled hides do fetch a fair price with proper permits

I used to collect and sell quills from roadkills. They sat on the passenger-side floor beside my beer while wife drove (and she watched for more porkies). I'd hit them repeatedly with a piece of closed-cell foam, then pull the quills out of the foam. Every porky generally had at least an ounce of guard hair and an ounce of quills.

Back in the 70's and 80's NewHouse114 and I on our outdoor wanderings often stopped to pluck guard hair from road hits. Haven't seen a road hit porky for many many years now..


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!
