Scott,

Another great SBS, thanks! For mixing deer hair, another technique you can use is by using your hair stacker. This only lets you do it one clump at a time but gives the same effect. Put smaller amounts of deer hair into the stacker and then use a popsicle stick to mix them up. Give the stacker a couple taps to even out the hair and you end up with a mixed bunch. You wont be able to do it by the bagful like in your technique, but you also wont have to try to get a mess of hair into a stacker.

I learned this technique from an article by Ward Bean in an old issue of Fly Tyer magazine. I wrote a Tying Tip article for this website some years ago.
