help please....what kind of hair is this

[ksnouf]

The hair does look like bucktail but is softer and very thin center unlike bucktail. Is a real puzzlement.

Don’t know what it is but it looks like it would be nice to work with. Also a shame it’s not a lighter color that could be dyed.

Could you dip the end tips in Chartreuse Spike it?

looks kinda like skunk tail to me. i bet it makes i nice jig

[DockShootinJack]

That hair on a skunk is soft and fine. Also shiny like what you have

[ksnouf]

Maybe its skunk. The only thing that makes me wonder is the very thin center. Its like an 1/8" thick. Very thin. Would think a skunk tail would be thicker. The last picture show both sides.

I have disposed of a few that were getting into the chickens. Some very soft fur on those things. It would be really hard to tell what it is just by looking

[Fatman]

It's not fox as they are very rounded. I believe its Fisher

[ksnouf]

That seams to be the closest. But the centers are so thin...about 1/8" I would think a tail like that would be thick as a squirrel.

[DockShootinJack]

Squirrel tail gets pretty thin when the bone is tripped out and the skin is left to dry. I have a few salvaged from unlucky road crossers

[ksnouf]

Cool...I'll go with Fisher. Fatman has been around.
Thanks for all your input. Has been fun.
