Default Hare's ear
I've got a couple of bags of of Hare's ear dubbing. They're a mix of long and short hairs.
Since I don't actually have a Hare's mask, is there any practical way to seperate out the guard hairs, eg to use for GRHE tails?

pheasant tail fibres, or long saddle hackle fibres, the webby bit that you strip off.
also english partridge makes good tails

I tied a few with pheasant tail, but the flies don't quite have the same feel to them.
