And exactly where on the mask should I be harvesting fur for these? I
guess I'm not sure what the different parts of the mask are called.
Even the ear has at least 4 different qualities of fur (inside, on
the rim, the tip and the base).

I was taught to use the soft shorter stuff right at the base of the ear.
For a "spikier" look, I use the coarser hair, especially at the thorax.

I wonder if there's a link out there with a sketch of a hare's mask, and
sections marked out (like one of those butcher's guides for steaks, yum)
that name the regions and the properties for each, as well as which flies
those particular hairs are good for. Anyone? MC?
