Hi! I love September -- it's great here in New England. Hope it's also nice where you are.

A couple of the dyed bucktails I have feel greasy to the touch (both the hairs themselves and the leather) and leave a light, oily "wild scent" on my fingers when used. (Also, one of them must not have been cured properly, as its leathery part is still soft.)

What would you recommend I do to clean them? I obviously don't want to damage the dye.

Also, since I have your attention, I have a hare's mask that just literally stinks. Again, the back of the mask doesn't seem to have been thoroughly cleaned and/or dried. Any suggestions?

Thanks!
