I'll believe it when I see something like the article I clipped from _Boy's

contained patterns for cutting up the 'coon.

Couldn't find a racoon so I skinned a porcupine, then a skunk. Neither
one worked out very well...

That is expected.

You likely put the pointy side of the porcupine down and the skunk's
tail was supposed to be on the back of the hat, not the front. ;)
