The deer hair line only has 12 different colors checked and that';s just body hair, not belly or buck tail. I have the items sorted, catagory, like feathers, hairs, dubbings, threads, hooks, yarns, flash, hardware (beads, dumbells, conehedas etc.) and even lines, leaders and tippets.

About once a year I actually take inventory (usually a snowny January weekend) and mark whats getting low and what needs replaced. I also use the opportunity to straighten up/reorganize all the materials. After updating the spreadsheet on the computer, I print it and have ready for next trip to Cabela's, Bass Pro, Jann's, Gander Mt., or specific fly shop.
Bass,
You and 8T really need to get a hobby
