Unless your going to do a lot of hair and or feathers I believe you would be better off just buying a patch of bleached hair. Elk hair from a mature Bull is very light from the flank area. If you can find this hair versus the bleached it's a much more durable hair as bleaching tends to make the hair brittle. If your going to do it right its one smelly process. It envolves using ammonia, 40% peroxide not the drug store stuff and Clairol Basic Pro. White a beauty salon product. Make sure you have good ventilation and a very tolerant wife.
