    Default deer hair comb

    I saw Kelly Galloup using this deer hair comb that is clamped to the table and he just ran the hair through it before he spun and stacked it. Anyone have a recomendation for a good comb for deer hair. I have bought 3 cheap ones already, broke one and the other two just suck. I looked at those cutsie wood handle ones that cost close to $20 but it just looked too small.

    Check out the video at 6:48, I want that thing. Where do I get it?

    This is all I use. Costs about a buck at the pet store or vet's office. I didn't have time just now to watch the video but I will later. If there's something that works better, I'm all for it.

    I think, therefore I fish.

    Clay,

    From the looks of the video, Kelly is using a flea comb like one more cast has, just screwed to his bench. Sounds like a great idea to me.

    The flea comb (or mustache comb, which is what Chris Helms uses in his video) are all I use. I think I've turned a corner and am heading back to low tech/low cost.

    you can also use a pet wire brush...I forget to use it on bucktail most of the time...I got this idea from Lefty K.

    More money to funnel back to the Kentucky revenue system Coughlin? Works for me!!!

    I use a small plastic mustache comb as well. Does anyone have problems with the fine flea combs on elk hair? I found that the coarser hair is too big for those real fine combs.

    Oh jeeze and a mounted comb? Never seen that, but it does have obvious advantages.
