Semi OT? Coyote Hair Jig/Lure Dressing
 

Hey guys

Have any of you tryed using coyote hair for dressing jigs, spinners,
etc?

My youngest got a coyote while hunting deer this weekend - it was
running balls-to-the-wall at 80yds and he rolled it. :)

I'd like to do something with it (the tail most likely) - rather than
just throw it in the trash or bury it. There are buck tail spinners -
why not coyote tail......?

Thanks

Jim

PS: He missed a nice buck today - standing shot - 40yds....go
figure..... :( :(

Jim Pope ties Granddaddy's jigs and sells them on the net. For awhile he was
cliping hair from his black dog to tie black jigs. Coyote hair should work just
as good. It won't be as good as bucktail, I think, because deer hair is hollow
and makes the jig more buoyant - dog hair is not.

1) A senoir moment
2) A blonde moment
