Got an irrigation culvert I been setting for them. This one a a very pale but does have 8 to 9 inch guard hair.

Good money in hair that long.

Hey Snowy, do you usually try to get rid of those things near your place?

If fact, do most of y'all try to eliminate them?

We don't have them here, Had some up at the camp you'd stumble on in the woods walking out near dark...I never bothered them, but have no love for them either....

Because we don't have them, I thought it'd be fun to bring a road kill home and leave it on the road for someone to get excited over , lol....at the speed these folks drive, they probably never noticed....

That is thinning them out. I have not seen one around here for years now. I used to seem them every winter. They are a pain if you have live stock.

Truth

They chew the snot out of moose sheds, and quill your dog when you are out looking for sheds in early winter and early spring. I dispatch them around the village and in moose habitat. In wolverine and marten habitat I trap, I leave them alone, as a high percentage of wolverine and XXL or larger male marten I skin have porcupine quills under their skin, which means they are a food source.
