How do I take care of Porcupine quills

(1/6) > >>

Ed Brooks:
its that time of year again, found the 1st rd kill yesterday, and got some quills. My question, should I wash them? Leave them dirty? I’m thinking the more I handle them , I may wreck them or end up stuck with them. Another big question. are they good trading stock on here?  Ed

osage outlaw:
Are quills hollow?  If so, I would be interested in trading for some. 

This might be a dumb question but is there any risk of puncturing a tire if you hit a porcupine?

Ed Brooks:
 O O.
     Not hollow, but pithy, I’d call it. There’s a some chance of getting a flat. But the quills lay down and point backward when he’s not in a riled up. I can send ya some quills to play with if you’d like. Ed

bjrogg:
I think Pat B was looking for some awhile back. It was in the trade section maybe?

Thank you. I sent Pat the very few I had in an old hat, from that post. There’s now a few more headed his way. Ed
