I have almost an entire Pronghorn skin. Am currently fleshing it and will dry it with Borax. Worked well on Deer Hide, so why not?
I am going to cut it so I can tack it onto a board better…what is the best part to use?
MAO
Nice hollow hair in the rump and along the back. Flares well but is bit fragile and gets cut easily with thread.
I use it mostly for spun hair flies that are trimmed to shape. For example, Goddard caddis, irresistable, bass poppers.
Kengore’s got it about right, but I don’t use it much on bass bugs because brittle hair=not-so-durable flies and bass are hard enough on them as it is. Works like a charm on the little stuff like the goddard caddises, though. You just have to be careful with the thread tension til you get a feel for what you can get by with without cutting the hair.
