Disposal of fox carcasses

[GGC96]

Just a bit of a general one here but what do you do to dispose of carcasses after a nights foxing?

I know some people just chuck them in a bush, some leave them for the farmer to dispose of and I know of others that have dug a pit in a secluded corner of the farm. What do you do?

Recycling day is Thursday and garden waste every second Friday.

Put them around oak trees in a circle so when they drill the ground the farmer can see them. Only thing is not the oak I set up on pigeon shooting lol

Muck pile , my farmers Bury um.in it ,

Fertiliser lol ,

Or ............

However the landowner wants you to dispose of them ,

any dead animal.will become carrion food if left out anyway

Common sense , just don't leave um on a right of way/ for any wandering public to see lol ( but you already know that )

Common sense mate , bush, pit, ditch etc etc etc

Or leave um as Tim.said , and we will do a wicker man ritual.on em lol ( joking Tim )lol

Seriously , don't leave near where your gonna set up a hide though , if the wind changes , you'll soon know about it

it all depends where you are and what public are about.mmany years ago I used to put them in a plastic feed bag in my pheasant woods hung up with a hole in the bag.when the turned maggoty they fell out and the birds loved them bit ironic!

 

[GGC96]

Yeah I usually just chuck them in a bush out of the way. I know some people like the farmer to see the fruits of their work so was more of a curiosity tbh

 

[foxhunter]

In bushes or hedges or any cover just so noone can see them ,common sense really.

 

[SussexSteve]

Leave them where they fall unless they are close to the public

 

[Tim.243]

Leave them where they fall unless they are close to the public

Do that when they are going to drill or cut hay/Lucerne!! as I found out with a text " Had a call from Phil. Tell the fox shooter to pick up the ####ing foxes or come clean the topper out"
It was/is no good trying to argue it had run as it is their land, the way I see it is I pick up my cartridges after pigeon shooting also do my best with the pigeons also the foxes...
Know my work shop is a different thing lol

Petrol auger, takes 2 min to drill the hole chunk it in and close the hole. Just ask the land owner where

 

[B&W FOX]

180°, 30 minutes per pound plus 45 minutes rest time.
Cook with parsley and sliced red onions and serve with mash and veg. Goes nicely with a drop of merlot.

 

[Pellet Pinger]

Give them to the snake.

 

[Overlay]

I’d have one mother of a fat snake.

l think I‘ll keep to the incinerator

[shakey jake]

any body know the legal ways? id think if handled they take on the same point as pheasants and partridge. can we legally chuck in a hedge or ditch? im not sure and would be interested to know

 

[foxdropper]

I think I’ve written my take on it in a previous life but here goes .The chicken farm I do has from time to time an inspection by whoever is paying for the eggs I guess ,them and farm assured I think .They saw a couple of foxes I put by the red bin for disposal and a discussion was started as to whether they should be left anywhere on show after ,as shakey said Id handled them .
I now have to put them in a bin liner by the bins .If you read the Defra take on dead stuff it’s a no no chucking them in ditches etc .
The other farmer I do has an incinerator which is defo the way to go .

Don't shoot pigeons mate I am far too busy shooting hundreds of deer and hundreds of foxes every year. With a bit of sleep and 6 or 7 holidays a year not any time left
