I share the same feelings. My only conclusions so far for deer hair on the Muddler are the following: it sheds water rapidly making a non-chuck-n-duck cast, it pushes a lot of water getting that lateral line all jazzed, it's naturally boyant (so fished on a sinking line it dives similar to a sculpin) and it spins easier than synthetics.

Just my 2/100ths of a dollar, Ray.
