Default RE: First squirrel in years, tanning advice?

ORIGINAL: Wiggy

I went dove hunting on the back side of my property but couldn't pass up a big gray squirrel behind me. I always try to use every part of the animals I get so I saved the hide. I've got it salted and tacked to a board in my shed and I was wondering how you guys tan your squirrel hides? I used eggs one time and it worked pretty good. This one is kind of special because it's the first time I actually got the whole tail section split without it breaking off or cutting it in half.
Go to a community college ask the taxidermy teacher he/she could tell you.
Maybe the students would do it for free.

Just an idea
