What do people do with the carcases once butchered?

[Antonyweeks]

I've recently had a few deer to butcher which I've done ok. However, previously I've buried in the remains (spine etc and skin) in my woods. However, it won't be long before I won't be able to do this. I know some stalkers I've been out with have designated 'bins' or containers that they simply deposit the butchered remains in. Just wondered what other folks do with the bones. I have two dogs and there are only so many bones they can get through! Plus I now have litres of venison stock!!

strong plastic bag and take it to the tip (waste that cannot be recycled)

Putting deer waste out for domestic collection can be an issue.
It makes the bins stink and may cause objections by the refuse men.







That is why on bin day, I sneak out in the middle of the night, run down to the other end of the village and chuck them in a neighbour's bins.

As above, strong black plastic bag zip tied shut and ketp in the fridge/ freezer until din day. My locat tip wants to see what goes into the compactors which coupme be an interesting conversation

I freeze and feed to dogs a bit at a time

I tend to double bag it and chuck it in the black bin, never had the bin men refuse to take it... yet.

Wild game in small quantities is not under the animal by-products guidelines, so can go in the normal bin - nicely bagged. It would be as well to break them up a bit.
If you are game dealer, however, then you (I think) have to follow waster rules
Personally, I turn mine into stock, but I am only dealing with small numbers.

Bait piles for fox, feed to the dogs or black bin

 

[lochty]

Double bag, tie securely and take to the local recycling centre where I CAREFULLY drop it in the non recyclable skip.

Muck heap and fire heap and bait spike

Goes out in the green bin here - raw bones are allowed. But it does stay in the chiller until bin day in the summer!

I have a local dog-owner who collects almost all my slaughtering waste to make dog-chews out of the dehydrated pelts and a kind of meaty jelly out of all the bones and meat waste to feed to her dogs. (After all, venison is their natural food...!)
On those occasions she doesn't want it all the slaughtering waste it is discreetly deposited in a quiet hidden spot of a local permission (With the owners knowledge) on the principle of 'ashes to ashes, dust to dust...' carrion and carcasses are great for wildlife, that is where it really belongs. In most cases all is just gone after 24 hours, very often there is absolutely nothing left.
In 'emergencies' its bagged up and taken to the local household recycling tip - but the management there is a bit pedantic and sometimes searches waste bags, I wouldn't want them to come across smelly slaughtering waste on a hot day, they may be not so happy with you, even if you are well within your rights.
I know of others who freeze the waste and only put it in the bin on collection day.

Freeze and put out for collection on bin day.
bait for fox station
food for badgers, cork ids etc,
bones for locals, your local Facebook may well be interested.

loads of things you can do. And it doesn’t last long, especially the bait station.

I mince most of mine, then add carrot, apple, seaweed, and salmon oil for dog food. We usually feed raw, which comes in 1kg plastic tubs that I then reuse

With roe carcasses, In cool months I put them in the bin ( well tied bag) and have had no drama with the bin men. In summer I would take them down the farm and drop in a hedge bottom for Brock et al to dispose of.

But if I’ve butchered a red it is a lot more to carry down the footpath up ones jumper and will fill the bin so I drop them at the local hunt kennels carcass skip. Whilst holding my nose...

I wear mine and self-identify as a deer. But I've recently been shot and am typing this from my hospital bed.

 

[Pellet Pinger]

Find someone local that raw feeds, they will snap them up.

If you freeze the bag/contents and bung it in the bin in the morning...no smell

Skin goes in black bag and bin. All waste bones meat and heads are fed to my dogs.
