How right you are Allan. It is amazing the variety of hair on one animal! One part that is very often overlooked is the face or mask. This can provide very fine hair. One critter overlooked by most for tying is the caribou; this hair is extremely fine, packs very tight and is great for Irresistibles!

It a difference between elk, roe deer and hart deer >in this aspect? >Rene > Rene, You can't just say that. You have to know the part of the body the hair comes from. As an example, read Chris Helm's extensive article on the different kinds of hair on the body of a Northern Whitetail Deer: <http://www.globalflyfisher.com/staff/helm/selecting/index.html> I have some Coastal Deer Hair that is rather thick (for CDH) and floats like a cork. I have another patch that is very fine - but is good winging material. Each piece of deer hair has to be judged on its own merits..........Kinda like women. Ducking and Running.
