    I think when they say acrylic wool the wool refers to texture and appearance. I've seen that now and then with fabric.

    I understand that Nauga are bred special for their hyde, but that the wild Nauga's hyde is superior.:-D

    I had a wild Nauga in the sights of my muzzle loader diring the last hunting season, but I let him go because it was an immature Nauga. The adults have dark brown or even black hide. The one I was looking at through ny scope was almost a blond color and thus clearly a juvinile. Alas, it was probably a once in a lifetime sighting, because they can hide so well.
