HEY, MY GRANDAD HAS HAD A COUPLE OF DEERSKINS FOR A LONG TIME. THEY ARE REAL STIFF BUT HAVE ALWAYS BEEN KEPT INSIDE. ANYWAYS, THEY HAVE BEEN LOSING HAIR. I HEARD THIS WILL HAPPEN A LOT WITH DEER. IS THIS TRUE? ARE WE DOING SOMETHING WRONG? CAN WE FIX IT?
Hollow hair, like WT Deer hair becomes brittle with age and snaps off at the base of the hair. No matter how good the tanning is, it can't be stopped, but it can be slowed down by spraying the hair with a liquid lanolin spray - like the type used on human hair wigs. It adds lubrication to the hair shaft, a luster, and a pleasant scent. At least they will retain the hair much longer!
