Deer belly hair

[Solitario Lupo]

Looking for some big patches of white belly hair from a deer. If anyone got any they would like to get rid of.

Tie-flying (?) materials! LOL!
I haven't saved a deer skin since who flung a chunk.
There's lots of road kill in my area, but seldom do I find it fresh!

Yep fly tying I usually get from my uncle but with the Covid he didn't get out much and didn't get one this year. Never thought of road kill but I don't know if I could do it.

Fresh road kill is okay, but once the buzzards begin to gather......! 👀

I would send you some, but nothing available until first weekend in October. If that works for you, send me a PM with details and address.

It’s more like when the cops gather and wonder what the +/;+-% your doing and I’m on the 6 o’clock news. Lol.

Why is the belly hair desirable ? How about the hair on the inside of the back legs ? Is the belly hair also hollow ? No taxidermists in your area ?

[Solitario Lupo]

I've tied with other hair like it's back. It is longer and harder to tie with for the flies I make. But any part of the deers hair is good just different fly patterns take different materials.

I dye my own hair also so white is the easiest to color.

As for it being hollow the way I understand it, it is not hollow like a drinking straw but more like a cork. Floats great.

As for taxidermy in my area I'm sure there's a couple but rather make a deal with someone like tie up a dozen of flies then get charged an arm and leg for some small patches.

Here's what I'm making with it.

I like those lone wolf!

About 1.25" long in yellow or silvery grey with a small black streak down each side would be awesome crappie jigs.
I know those aren't categorically "jigs", but a small split shot right at the knot would work great.
When the crappie spawn in the shallows, they take minnows and lures rigged 4 to 6 inches below a bobber.
