Part 1

start thread (set aside a length for ribbing) at 70% and wrap back to barb




build up egg sac with thread




clean, stack, measure (gap width) a clump of elk; tie in at front of sac, jam wraps to flare tail






wrap butts along shank up to 70%; trim, tie in rib and wrap back to sac






create loop; wax




cover tail with tape so it doesn't get trimmed with the body




insert a hefty clump of caribou in the clip, cut away from hide
