Default Snowshoe Hare's Foot and Calf Tail

I would have said the calf tail is a lot more crinkly and coarse than
snowshoe
hare...

......and, you did. You are completely correct. Calf tail is
considerably more coarse than snowshoe foot. As stated by Bob, the snowshoe
floats a bit better, and collects a bit more in the way of air bubbles with
it's finer texture. On the other hand, for wings on larger flies, calf's
tail, and
body hair is fine stuff.
