TANNING A PORCUPINE

When you tan a porcupine (not for a mount) do you leave the quills in or pull them out?
Thanks, Scott

Scott, I'm assuming it would be whether you wanted to see the quills later on or not, but seeing as how the quills are modified hairs, thats's going to one tough job to get rid of them all.

I was wondering, how do you skin a porcupine? Do you skin it down the back or the belly? Thanks, Hootz
