    ok so i often shoot a few bunnies, i noticed at the birr game fair, a couple of the english stalls had whole rabbit hides for sale, they were actually well tanned and cured etc.. they were nice and pliable...
    now i attempted it a coulple of times years ago when me and me da used to ferret... basically i pinned pelts out and tried to scrape off all the fat, i then dipped it in a bucket of alum, ..... but it just turned out like cardboard..... how the hell do you tan a hide and leave it floppy etc????
