    Where are you getting all this bucktail? lol

    Some of it looks about like what I want to get but brighter orange.
    I love taking my kids fishing, now if I could just manage to fish at the same time.

    I like the color orange we have been getting a lot of tales from a man that collects hides from the hunters he brought me a bunch of deer tails this year have you tried the grape Kool-Aid it would be interesting to see what that does.

    Fish 4 all,I don't hunt so,All my hunting buddies bring me the tails.
    I used 2 packs of orange in this batch,I think I am gonna start using
    3 packs in each batch.

    Snake,I have not tried the grape yet.I have some more bucktails on the way and i think they mite git the grape color.

    hes doin them with coolaid tho's came out lighter then mind you ether used alot of water or didnt keep in as long
    when your dieing them keep in as long as it takes to get the tails a shade darker then you want them and remember they wil neaver be darker then the mix if you are using alot of water becouse your doin alot of tails at same time add more koolaid and a bit more vinger
