JoeFish 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2005 well i thought it would bve ok to leave the tying box open, since these dogs of ours have not chewed anything in a very long time, but apparently the brown whiting half saddle smelled too good. got home from an automotive swap meet this morning and there was brown hackle all around! and no skin left. son of a gun. i guess i get to presize all thats left, hope that damn dog didnt get any of the hackle down, that would be a waste...(pun intended) Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted January 16, 2005 Just be thankful that it wasn't a full saddle, now that would be grounds for neutering. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bamboo 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2005 Lost a whole whiting gold neck that way! Brand new too. I did pick up as many of the feathers as I could and sorted by size so I was able to salvage some. Funny, I never found the skin either. That must be what attracts them. Bamboo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoeFish 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 no lance, just the one half saddle, but it was barely used maybe two dozen flies out of it. there still[ is alot of useable stuff left. it will jsut be a pain to presize and organize it, but i was planning on doing that anyhow.

bentflyrod 0 Report post Posted January 17, 2005 You have to watch them dogs. One of my beagles got into my dear hair and shreaded it up. Had hair all over. Can't really blame the dog, it's in their nature. They really go nuts over the piece of rabbit and skunk fur that I have. So I have to keep it all out of dog reach.
