Quick question: How does antelope hair compare to elk or deer? I've been trying to use some for some hoppers similar to the fly of the week because I only had green in antelope and wanted to try that color. It seems more fragile. The hair does have quite a bit of age on it as I got it as part of a bunch of materials I bought from old (well-preserved) stock. I haven't had any trouble with the other materials from that bunch. Is it that antelope is different? Or is it more likely that this particular pouch wasn't preserved well like the others?
