Where on an elk?

[mtbbrian]

I have some friends that are going elk hunting soon and said they would do what they could to get me some elk hair for fly tying.
They asked me if there was any particular part of the animal that would offer the best hair.
So where on the animal is the best place or places for hair for tying?
Thanks!

I hear elk sack soft hackles are killer in the fall.

Just make sure you borax and freeze it, or buy a throw away microwave and microwave it outside. otherwise you can stuff into you tieing hairs and hackles that will lay waste to all of them.
