I'm going to be going after some black bear here this week or so and I was wondering since I don't have time to really order the tanning solution, I was wondering if anyone has ever used eggs before on bear hides before, and if so, what was the solution? I see some mix with just water, others with olive oil.

Why not use the brain? Every animal has enough brain matter to tan it's own hide.
