In this episode I show you a simple and cheap way to dye fur or feathers. It is pretty standard across the board. The dye that I use is Tintex Fabric Dye Thanks for watching, please like and.

Preparing the Bucktail The deer tails (bucktails) I acquire for jig tying usually still have the bone in the tail, are dirty and, many times, bloody. Hence, they require careful preparation before beginning the dying process to ensure the best possible outcome. The first step is to clean and remove the natural oils from the deer tails (bucktails).

Does anyone know how to permanently dye the white hairs of a deer tail? I've seen them for sale in the past. Will human hair color work? A client said they had tried "Rit" dye (for clothing) but it didn't work. I've seen rabbit's foot keychains in multiple colors as well.

There are lots of information about dyeing deer hair with Rit Dye on the internet, which are basically the same as dyeing feathers and other items. An important first step is to use a thorough degreasing product that will remove all of the grease from whatever you are dyeing - in this instance your deer tails. I'd follow the steps that Rit Dye recommends for doing this: https://www.ritdye.

I have some Bucktails and squirrel tails I would like to dye colors for my personal tying use. I'm wanting to use the fur I have harvested myself from hunting. Has anyone here dyed fur themselves and would be willing to share your how to information? Thanks.

The dyeing process involves washing the hair with Dawn soap, soaking, and preparing a dye bath with equal parts vinegar and water. I prefer dyeing my natural deer hair rather than purchasing pre-dyed lures. Proper washing with Synthrapol is crucial, and soaking can enhance results.

Carefully blend the septum color with the black until the desired effect is achieved. After the paint is thoroughly dry, use a soft cloth and gently rub excess paint out of hair, ears, around nose, etc. A hairdryer will help loosen paint from hair.

Use a soft, slightly damp paint brush and wipe paint off eyes, then buff them with a Q. For sure, I have only used clean white deer tails. I am not trying to dye anything but pure white tails that have no stains or real imperfections.

After trying the cleaning methods and dying methods above, I get very weak dying results. The tails don't absorb much dye and look pathetic. Of note, I have added approximately 200 grains weight of dye to each 10 liter or 2 gallon dye bath.
