anyone ever skin or hoop one, i always wanted to try this, thinking I'm





going to brain tan it, any tips, anyone can give would be great,

You are a braver man than I am! Good luck and I hope it turns out. I would bet that Miss Nancy would have some tips on how to do it.

I've skinned several. As I'm sure you found out, they are surprisingly thin-skinned. Mine had way more holes than yours, to the point they weren't savable. I was planning on using Rittle's EZ-Tan products on mine like I do on all my home-tanned skins.

Makes a great shower mat . LOL

I haven't tanned any but I put them up when I get them

I have a lady that gives a good price for them. She is big into crafting

If it doesn't turn out well you can sell the hairs to a local fly shop

Need 3 porcupines price for med/lg ? ruff skinned head and legs in main body out,,,,frozen
I pay shipping
P M me

Make great gloves.good for giving someone a backhander.

Lol Boco!

That looks really good!

I caught one in a snare once. As I went to take the snare off its neck I instantly got poke by a quill that it had hiding guarding its neck.
Was a little spike growing out of it. No way was I skinning it! Lol

I never put one up, but have skinned a few to eat, plus mounted some in my taxidermy shop.

I've stretched them round like beaver.
Scraping is a challenge. I sold them dried between 35 and 45.
The cleaned skulls for 35 and a buck for the claws. I haven't skinned one for probably 15 years or more.
The meat makes a good stew.

Just don't thump them with your walking stick

wetdog what do you sell them$$$, how do they taste guys? haven eating one since i was a kid,

The one in the picture I got $45 for. I leave them on the board for her she says they are easier to handle that way.
I don't get near as much for the hair at the fly shops, my biggest payday at a fly shop was $25 and a handful of leaders

I don't eat them, they are my go-to k-9 bait when I have it

Really nice put up. Quills and guard hair have pretty decent value.
