Fox Ear Dubbing

Post by joaniebo » Sun Jan 16, 2022 12:44 pm

By chance does anyone have some extra of the light brown dubbing taken from a fox's ear available for sale? Thanks.

I have a red fox face coming from Moscow Hide and Fur. Once it arrived, I'll let you know how much I have. https://www.hideandfur.com/inventory/60501150.html

A SPECIAL THANK YOU to Doug Duvall (Dougsden) who sent me, not only a red fox mask but also a gray fox mask, that I received this morning. So, I now have the "the hair from a red fox's ear" to tie a few of T.E. Pritt's #13 - March Brown dressing.

Now, the big problem is to find some dressings that need the hair from a gray fox's ear, eh?

Thank you Doug. This OLD guy really appreciates your generosity and thoughtfulness.

Just started tying 3 or 4 this evening. Between my fingers and bad back, I can’t tie very many at one sitting!

Good thing Doug was able to help you out. Very little hair behind the ears of my fox mask. No idea why.

Same with the mask that Doug sent me. That being said, I'm hoping to get a dozen or two of Pritt's #13 March Browns tied, if I can find enough of the right-sized Wookcock hackles (always a reason to damoen an OLD guy's enthusiasm, eh?)
