Pheasants graded out unfit for human consumption used for fox bait.
Pheasants breasted out used for fox bait.
I haven’t bothered watching the clip but I get the point most folk are making. Sounds like a poor choice of content to upload but there will be something along tomorrow that will cause offence to someone who knows little or nothing about whatever they find offensive.
Don’t you just love the internet

I wonder if there is some type of electric/battery mincer that could mince up small-boned critters for use as fox chum 
, I'm thinking of breasted out pheasants, squirrels, and rat sized stuff..
A bucket of such gruel would keep a bait station going for a while, and make them look for the morsels.
I usually place bits & bobs under sods of turf, it stops the raptors from carting it off.
I think farm dead pits are illegal now

Ok , you don't like game shooting , that's fair enough , but you must realise a small percentage of the bag arnt fit for human consumption, whether due to been badly shot , damaged on impact with the ground/ by hard mouthed dogs or a multitude of other reasons, not to mention the birds that are breasted out and the carcass is a by product. Not everything can be put into the food chain , why not put it to use another way. You'll never change your mind about game shooting but try to educate yourself a little bit maybe?
If going semi industrial the bagging of fish which have been filleted ( no fly eggs) into plastic feed bags (tops tied) and left to supperate then suspended and punctured is truly vile, long lasting and a great fox attractant for middings and last all winter and street legal.
So many things pull mr fox and simples but keeping it legal and discreet been the ticket with disposal been the key when tidying up at end of season. Would imagine pheasants treated same way would also be rancid,

OK chaps - many different views but I think the majority view is that posting the video for public consumption (see wot I did there) was a bad idea.
As an unexpected bonus it was interesting for me to see the different concoctions used across the membership - some of which almost made me dry-retch (the concoctions not the members) though I wouldn’t want to be downwind of some of you after replenishing your bait pipes/stations. Perhaps that is why one member spends some nights in his car and even as I type is seeking recommendations for a portable heater……
To all of you I say Nuts - steady now lads - Dognuts - preferably dry, fish-based and regularly scattered (best at twilight - out of sight of birds) in medium length grass so that your intended victims have to work to find them. This has been my own simple approach - particularly to deal with problem foxes; it leaves no mess or smell and even the most nosey walker will at worst only be mildly puzzled by them or hopefully really alarmed at what their little darlings are eating - which means they won’t ever come back on your ground.
Every cloud….

I know a day boat skipper out of Gorleston in Norfolk who makes his own chum bait. An electric garden shredder over half a 45 gallon drum.I wonder if there is some type of electric/battery mincer that could mince up small-boned critters for use as fox chum

Then anything not taken away by clients goes through the shredder. Presumably something along those lines might work.
Yes. Been illegal for 20 years now.I think farm dead pits are illegal now

Steady on old fruit! “A blatant lie”? I think you should perhaps pause for a moment and let your keyboard cool off.
When I went to skool a “lie” was intentionally saying something different to what you knew as the truth. I am happy to agree that “I don’t understand these things very well” or in fact “algorithms” at all, period.
That being a simple honest fact demonstrates the nonsense of your utterly offensive closing statement.
Sooo, In the spirit of friendship still abroad on SD, you would do well to reflect on your responses to this and I have noticed, other threads, before using words and language you would never dare to utter face-to-face.
In my case at least I will never know whether you take this advice as for me at least, you are off to the SD equivalent of Room 101.
Goodbye…
Great idea and would make a fine stew and could combine turf and surf prior to bagging and suppuration and could be called the
Mincing.

I was a bit surprised to see this on the toob. Raises a number of questions for me. What do you think?
it's been taken down now

Try a vessel full of fishing bait shops for tuna oil. Stick a small pinprick hole that allows only a drop every now and then,. Its strong, pungent and attractive to foxes and probably badgers. Hang from a high enough limb in a place where air movement is good. Have it drip into another vessel and foxes will come to 'the lick'
Or a can of tuna and do much the same. I believe the bait oil is far better though.
