I thought your stew was going to be like "Clean the porcupine on an oak board." "Throw the porcupine away and eat the board."

I know some folks in SD that eat them, they say it's good. Let me know if you all want one to try this winter when trapping season rolls around. Saw one crossing the road just before dark this evening, seen a few road kill lately too.

Shoot them in the face! They are vile and this country is covered up in them. Nothing worse then sending a pointing dog into flush and he comes out with a mouthful. I have them on game cams nightly and see them from stands. Most of the ones I have seen while bird hunting have been in trees from Waynoka to Seiling area.

Can't upload video and it it tough to tell in the screen shot, but this one is very much alive. I was removing it to make the work area safe. (By safe, I mean safe for the workers who were terrified of it)

Some people think they can launch those quills like ballistic missiles.

Used to see big fat ones up in the north woods and in Canada. They were the size of bean bag chairs seemed like

You can put em in front of little ball of tissue in a straw and launch a quill pretty good.

My brother's FIL has asked us to shoot every one of them that we see when we're out.
