after it has been skinned stretch the hide fur side down on a piece of plywood and staple it in place make sure its stretched as far as possible. scrape any excess fat off the hide. rub it thoroughly with mortons tenderquick salt( this method is cheaper than buying all those professional tanning supplies. Let it side for a few days then scrape the hide again removing excess fat and membranes. continue this process until there is no fat or membranes left on the hide. let it sit stapled to the plywood until it is thoroughly dry. there ya go i use this method on deer, rabbit, **** and squirell hides. they make interesting wall hangingd and great conversation pieces

tie up the bugger and let him have it properly with a 3' flexible rattan cane (approx 3/4" dia) with insulated handle for grip and confort. Strokes should be long, with full-shoulder action and proper follow-through. Do not pay attention to cries for mercy, as these can be distracting.
