Skunk?

[John Rhoades]

The original Skunks (both Green Butt and original) used skunk hair. It was replaced on commercial versions by bucktail since it's so much easier to get. You can get skunk hides from furriers for a pretty fair chunk of change, but the hair really is nice.

There are also more than a fair number of dead skunks lying all along Hwy 89 during the summer, free for the taking for anyone who doesn't mind a bit of scent.
