I don't think the oils from the hair have anything to do with it.

Deer hair is hollow as is elk and antelope. Elk is thinner than deer and deer is thinner than antelope. The hair is thicker on all of them around the neck and therefore floats better. It is probably a genetic thing. Anyway that is where I would get my hair from if I was going to choose it from one of those critters. If your going to get a whitetail then be sure to get the tail. It is aways good for some good bucktail fles.
