A ribbok hunted in typical terrain here in the Southern Free State and carried out. Note the cuts in the hind legs in the second photo to make it into a "boeksak" for carrying.

I never heard of their hair being used - maybe you're thinking of klipspringer patches which is highly sought after for dry flies?

Its a wire hair fox terrier pup and assisting might be too strong a word, let's just say she was present.

I have had requests from fly fishermen for mountain reedbuck, also fallow deer, tails. Not being a fly fisherman I have no idea what they use it for.

The deer hair is spinned around a hook to create flies - it actually is pretty cool doing it. I used to make mouse imitations for bass that worked a charm!

Have a look here:
