Don you do anything with those porkys or just leave them lay? We used to shoot everyone we seen (hated pulling them quills out of a curious cows face) and I used to pluck the guard hairs. Used to have a guy that would pay me $15 an ounce for the guard hair. Not sure what he did with it but I liked the cash. Ive heard of them making flys and paintbrushes with it.
