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!

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.
