Yes, but it's a 3 day procedure of soaking, salting and scraping each day. There's no grease on the leather when I'm done and washing the pelt with dish soap and rinsing is just to get the hair clean and free of grease. I use a bottled tanning solution on the leather side and go over it with a wire wheel on my drill to soften the leather.
It's kinda cheating to use the bottled tanning solution but that was the first way that I learned how to do it and I've never had a problem doing it that way.
