Lots of buck tail is long and you will need to cut a good bit off. If you are ever going to spin deer hair you could save the longest stuff for that? With spinning it you will not have any tips anyway as you cut it all to shape after it spun on and tied off.

On the stacker, after you cut the hair to length place it in the stacker with the cut end down inside it and them just slam it on a table or something 2-3 times to make all the hair equal as to it's starting place. You usually don't want the other end, the business end all the same anyway.
