There's also the Rez, won't make as much, but no skinning involved.

Seriously?  Where can I get a hook up for selling them?  I can get a ton of those bastards whenever I want to.

After having an 8 year old threaten to shank the guy next to me for a toy car at a trade show I did, I avoid the rez by you. And the ones by me are tempting fate by sticking so many double wides next to each other, a tornado is gonna hit one of these days.

Western ones.....your eastern ones have shorter hair.

I don't know, they don't hibernate and when it's -30 below you can hear them gnawing away on trees.  I will look into it next time one wanders in my path.

WA is lousy with those.

I didn't say they weren't here. I just said I hadn't seen any that weren't road kill on the wet side.

I know a guy who ran over a pork one time.  Actually he ran over the damn thing at least 3 or four times.  








The next morning , four flat tires.    That there was funny, except it cost him four new tires.

It must have been huge. I have never seen a porcupine quill that could come close to popping a car tire.

I hit one in a Chevy malibu and pulled a half dozen quills out of the front lower valance

Picked up a scorpion with two sticks when I was in the 9th grade.  Took it in to school for extra points in biology class, where it went into a terrarium as a school exhibit.  At the time we thought it was really wild to find/catch a scorpion along a dry creek bed in Jacksonville, AR.  Not typical scorpion territory.

Picked up a semi-dead rattle snake with a chain/clip fish stringer wound around a long stick after I crushed it's head with a rock (that was funny, usually it would take me 5 or 6 rocks to hit something but I got her on the first rock - her, yeah, cut the head/rattles off, gutted it and it had 10 or 11 five inch or so baby snakes inside it.)  Skinned it and cut it into 4 to 5" pieces and fried it in a skillet.  Fried rattle snake is good, too.

I used fireplace tongs to put a rabid coon I shot in the yard in a trash bag. I bleached the blood/tongs afterwards.

Had to pick up a dead bat one time, so I took a plastic baggie, turned it inside out, grabbed it, and inverted the bag.

Then I basically bleached my hands afterwards.
