I got the very best thing. Just turn my hearing aids off.
Seriously I haven't used anything in probably ten years and all the critters I have killed haven't minded one bit. They all died the same as when I used cat wiskers.

Cat whiskers are the best. With that said I don’t like anything on my string

I got the SVL Limbsavers and they seem to hold up ok. I just replaced one a couple of weeks ago. With my APA bow it takes about 3 minutes or so to swap it out. No bow press needed.

I really like to use beaver balls. Just cut a couple strip off the beaver I trap each spring after they are tanned

Could someone possibly identify a type of fur for me. I have an old set of fur string dampers that work well and look really great. They are a short length, dense fur of a very light color. Next to mink, it appears denser and minimally stiffer. I would describe it as off white or a lightly golden/tan white color. Any ideas?

^^^ A grinner, aka (opossum) possibly? Maybe muskrat or nutria that has been dyed. Most likely beaver, though. Beaver fur is a tad bit coarser than mink or muskrat, IMO.
Another vote for cat whiskers from me.
