Wow, I have never killed something with a stun gun. I usually shoot things in the head with a .22 before I butcher them. There isn't any brain goo that splashes out. =:O

I am ok if I eat a nice big calorie-filled breakfast before butchering. But if I am weak and hungry, I get buzzing-ears (and sometimes even faint) when the carcasses start making that slurping noise when removing the guts, lol.

Tried brain-tanning once, but it didn't turn out. I think my mixture was too cold and didn't soak into the hide properly. There were patches that seemed ok,, and then other patches that didn't take and rotted. The hair stayed in the good places ok (at least for the short time that I kept the hides). But I have had even "professionally tanned" 'coon skins and stuff start slipping hair after several years. I am not sure what to do to make them stop....

I have never tried the aluminum sulphate. If it is indeed easy, I might have to give it a shot. Assuming that our over-reaching nanny government will let me buy it in sufficient quantity without paying them a huge tax to obtain a "special license"... Papers, please! -_-'
