Yes we have , a couple years ago on the flyfishing forum a bunch of us were trying out all kinds of hair .
My labs hair held up rather well worked great as a crown on wolley buggers . My lab also was suspect of having mange untill the wife cought on , lol !
Skunk tail and possum both did exceptional . Squirrle tails are a staple for wolley buggers , easy to work with too !
Deer fur (save your tail this year [
]) worked great on floating flies , regular cape hair was very good for making crowns, legs and feelers for terrestrials and crustaceans .
turkey and grouse feathers were indispensable when tieing a beetle . Turkey feathers by themselves make the best sucker fishing fly I have ever used .
