Similar to the Michigan-body style but a bit simpler.

hook - WFC Model 6 #8
thread - Danville 6/0 brown 
tail - deer hair
rib - tying thread
body/thorax - deer hair 
shoulder - hen grizzly 
head/collar - deer hair

Mash barb; start thread at 2/3 mark, wrap to bend

Clean, stack, measure (gap width past bend) a clump of deer hair

Tie in with 2 soft loops on top of shank, pull tight, maintain pinch to keep hair from spinning; take a few wraps through butts, locking hair in place
