Personally, I do not hunt (yet) but some good friends of mine are hunters. I got some brains from them once, which I still have and am saving for a rainy, brainless day when I am in need of them to finish some hides.
Normally I like to wait until there's a few hides to brain, then throw some brains in a pot, make a brain slurry and give each hide a nice soaking. In theory, every animal except a bison has enough brain in it's head to tan its own hide.
