And green treated lumber. I tried eating one ONCE and it was horrible. Bruce must have far superior culinary skills than I do. I fed it to the dog and she licked her butt for 3 days trying to get the taste out of her mouth.

No, it got freezer-burned. I left it in too long.

And T-111 siding. I have a picture of a camp from a few years ago where the siding from the ground up about 2 feet is completely gone, eaten by porcupines.

I have skun plenty in the past and been stuck by the quills in the process i chop the whole animal up then run thru the grinder i put a 4 week taint to the meat then stabilize with sodium benz and methyl parabin
to that i add amberette oil castor and ruie oil works great for canines

You need to find a contractor that moves a little faster then.

Probably let that happen on purpose after reading all the replies lol.

salt in urine

It wasn’t my camp, it was an abandoned shack a couple of miles from my place.



They have occasionally gnawed on the T-111 on my carport though.

I think you are probably right.

I have ate them. Cut into bite size pieces and deep fried. I liked the taste. Not the skinning though. Smell is bad when you skin one but the smell is all hide not meat.

I've skinned a few. They have surprisingly thin skin.

yes I've trap them salted apple works great, yes ive eaten them skin them from the belly, cut into bite size pieces, best to pressure cook for 15 min, we make pot pie, with them everyone at the meeting love it,

here are a couple from last winter, crafter will pay good for them these are tanned with the orange bottle,

Nongame here open all year round, have caught them in traps, live traps and snares.
Never tried to eat them, can think alot better thing's to eat.
