Hi,
Hope someone can help. I have a road kill rabbit that I skinned and salted some time ago. What is the best way and areas of the skin to "Harvest" and /or "prepare" dubbing for hare's ear nymphs? I also have freshly frozen and not yet skinned large spotted genet (muskuljaatkat - read road kill) in my freezer - want to kill the ticks and bugs first! Anybody used genet before?
Thanks
Niel

Hi Niel
Only the face and ears are useful. The hair on the face provide different shades of tan and then you mix in some hair plucked off the ears for spikiness.

Hi,
Thanks for all the useful info!
MC, Just to make sure - so all the short hairs on the ears itself, front and back, face and hairs near the base of the ears too? Should I take these off and blend together, or rather harvest as needed? The rest of the skin I hope to use as on large fly for those zambezi sharks at the Breede!

I have made lovely dubbing from the body hair as well.
Put it thru a coffee grider.
Blend with other dubbings i.e. artificiail dubbing for some sparkle etc.
Dye with Koolaid, for some interesting colors
