My next-door neighbor once tried to tell me that they were a protected species, and that you could only take one pelt at a time. I told him no, that you could take as many hides as you wanted.

He still didn't believe me, so I quickly walked him out to my pick-em-up truck and showed him that I had bagged enough to upholster the entire inside - seats, armrest, headliner, everything. I was even allowed to export the hides (duty free) to the specialty shop in Tijuana for the installation!
