DEER PELT

White tailed deerskin hide with hair on

Deer have hollow hair, which breaks over time, so their hides are better choices for use as wall hangings or other decorative piece that will not see a good deal of wear. They are not recommended for use as a rug, or seat cushions or used for anything that would move the hairs constantly.

Individual hairs are used in fishing flies and in artist brushes.
