Buzz,
I understand what you are saying completely but my dogs have never shown the slightest interest in them once they are dead. I have shot them then chased the dogs off the carcass and continued on. Really only my first dog messed with them. My older female pinned one in some CRP a couple of years ago but did not go after it. I just called her off and we proceeded on. I did not shoot that one. We were hunting Reservation land and those things are worth big bucks up there for the quill art the Indians make. You are 100% correct that the quills can be deadly.
