Buck Tail - the top side

I started out making brushes from the outside of the buck tails friends gave to me after hunting season.  I had to learn to de-bone and tan the hide and the white underside was mostly gone because I use it for my fishing flies.  I supposed that since she put up with many of these pinned to boards, covered in all the salt she had in the cabinet (I swear I didn't know it was unlucky for a home to run out of salt!) it was only fair she should benefit from the leavings after I used the good stuff for my flies.
