splattermatic,
I have a tanned antelope hide from the 15" buck I shot about 15 years ago. I have handled it very carefully, but regardless, some hairs break off or pull out. In spite of that, I still have 99% of the hair that it started with.

"Daddy, can you sometime maybe please go shoot a water buffalo so we can have that for supper? Please? And can I come along? Does it taste like deer?"
