Whole lotta deer hair going on here. Packing foam underhead was Mr. Wolfe's idea; kinda like it. Supposed to be a cutty killer up in Idaho. You can do the spun/clipped body first if you like.

hook - TMC 5212 #6
thread - UTC 140 yellow
tail/body - deer hair spun/clipped
wing - mottled turkey
underhead - packing foam strip
head - deer hair
legs - medium rubber yellow
