So that is what the cops mean, when they say they burn it, when they
confiscate large quantities of Marijuana......... ::) :P I noticed they always have a large
quantity of volunteers to help...... ;D ::)

Ah yes, J.W.;
I was shark fishing with a Buddy of mine, and I thought I saw something floating
near the boat, and I did, l did! It was night time, and we were just north of the Boynton Beach inlet, and there had been ...... uh..... a lot of square Grouper washing up on shore, and I thought, I was suddenly rich, :o but turned out some !$#@!! had tied a rope, and chain, and shark hook, around a fifty five gallon barrel! >:( :P If I had had a gun with me I would have shot it full of holes! It was just drifting along......I guess that they figured that they would look for it later. Sure made me mad. My buddy just had a bang stick, and didn't want to waste the shells. Well of course, ........ I was mad, that someone would endanger marine traffic like that! :o not just uh..... because..... I uh saw all that uh..... money drift away..... ::) :P :( :'(

Easy. First you just smoke it, and then it really doesn't matter, ;) 8) besides you
have to go get a big bucket of chicken, or a couple bags of hamburgers..... :P :P

In this video the guy was "tanning" squirrel and badger. All he did was rinkle and stretch the fleshed dried out rawhide until soft then he smoke it over a fire.
Thanks for the responses I was just wondering if it really would work as good as he made it seem. He made it sound as though it was leather as if it were done by any other tanning process.
this is one of the videos http://youtu.be/sdAocIzADUg
Can I get some more informative post on this topic
aaron:
what else do you want to know? This will work for some critters and not others. It's generally used for small skins with the hair on.after skinning and scraping, you work it until soft, then smoke as with any other hide (smoke one side only. ) It eliminated the bucking , braining and acidifying type steps, but all the hard steps are still there ( softening, smoking ).
