This is how I use a stacker. I make up what I call 'harvest bundles' of stacked deer hair of various colors, textures, densities, etc., made longer than I will need. I tie them around the base with strong thread and toss them into a small bin. Then when I need stacked deer for tails, wings, muddler collars, hopper bullet heads, or whatever, all I have to do is grab the appropriate bundle and clip the amount I need. These are very convenient for travel kits. I also make up moose and elk bundles.
