You can brain tan or do the chemical tanning, but how you do it depends on if you want to tan it hair on or hair off.  I've never done one because i don't have the necessary time, but they say that the hair on tanning is harder to do.  I found some info at this site
 www.manataka.org/page27.html (http://www.manataka.org/page27.html)  or you can pick up various videos from 3 rivers or Kustom King.

Check with a local taxidermist and see what they can do to help you out.
If it was a trad gear kill lets see some photo's and the story.
