Deer Hair vs. Elk Hair
Deer hair is the superior choice for spinning and trimming — it flares more aggressively and clips cleaner than elk hair. Elk hair has slightly larger, less brittle fibers with more trapped air, making it a better choice for applications where you want a stiffer, more durable wing. For spun bodies and clipped heads, deer hair wins every time.
