Yup legal game, a 22 LR properly placed is plenty.

I've got a 9 year old DD and that's my big worry when we're up at my place near Kalkaska or skunks anywhere! Were you up in northern MI when he got hit by that porky?

I've shot and ate them before. If I was on my home computer I could post a step by step for skinning them out. Not too hard, start at the belly and work carefully. They cook up pretty good to be honest.

save the guard hairs the long ones,bundle them in one inch bundles neatly with rubber bands. Some fur buyers will buy them. At our fur sales here we get as high as 18 to 20 dollars an ounce!!

The natives up here in northern Alberta just bash them over the head with a stick and roll them around in a fire to burn off the quills, then dress them out and cook over a fire. They claim to like it, but I found it a little..... odd tasting I guess. Hard to describe, there isn't much to compare it to.

What do they use the Quills for?

That was Marquette county. The same week he blood tracked the bear in my avatar.

He'll be 10 feb 1st.

A variety of things. Look up native quill work. Quills are dyed flattened and "sewn or woven"or wrapped for decoration of a variety of items. Definitely an art. usually the respected work of guilds.
Some people today make earrings with them.
