Allan I have found that using a battery operated moustache/beard trimmer works really well for the deer hair and you can find some good deals on them every once in awhile.Not a pro either but knows enough to be dangerous

am a poor tyer of deer hair flies do to a poor sense of symmetry.  After
I make my initial trim, I usually find one side longer than the other, and
in my efforts to make the other side shorter, it usually ends up shorter
than the formerly short side, so I then start trimming on the formerly
shorter side which is now longer than the short side but won't be much
longer...............I've wound up with some size 16 deer hair flies tied
on size 2/0 hooks!


WHOOPS!  I shouldn't have answered this anyway.  It was a question for the
pros.
