I cant remember the last time I messed around with deer fur, I almost forgot what a pain in the arse it is... #1 most valuable tool for der hair flies:  kinda lousy tie, but it'll ketch some basses:

this one is slightly better, if I continue to tie a few they will all improve, the next better than the last, BUT I still prefer foam poppers & divers (but bambi fur is still cool)

Honestly back in the day I tried to make my deer hairs more and more packed/pretty/professional, and I still love fishing hair but I don't even bother with trying to pack it tight any more, I just tie/fish surface film bugs with a few loose wraps of hair and general form. Besides I'll never amount to any kinda Bass Bug hair proficiency 
When I gets the cravin to chase fat girls, I call on Bass Bug

Mike, that's awesome stuff, as I've come to expect from your vise. It makes me all tingly (in a manly way) to see you using Bambi fur again.
