Thing is, foxes will clear up anything else that happens to get left but they aren't going to eat thier own. personally, I burn them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gnipper 6,426 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 They should be buried or incinerated but there are times when you really don't wanna be taking a dead fox round with you. Never leave them to be seen though. A lot of the rifle boys leave them where they drop. Anyone else got a keeper by them who still hangs them up for all to see?

FightTheBan 1,147 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 If i am doing pest controll on a shoot, i leave them for the keepers to put in a midden or dispose of. Same as on farms, i will leae them for them to dispose of. If i am out with the dogs, i will make the effort to bury them, especially if they are anywhere near public access. Not only does it paint a bad image to the public, it is also a reason a landowner may be put off you. Disposing of quarry properly also shows a degree of respect imo that cant be gained from throwing it in a ditch. FTB Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FightTheBan 1,147 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 "Anyone else got a keeper by them who still hangs them up for all to see?" I do a couple of farms who specifically ask for this, so he can pick them up when doing his rounds. He will then dispose of them. Not my preferred method, but if he wants me to do it - i do.

Lab 10,979 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 As long as they are out of sight then thats good enough, maybe 30 yards dragged into the nearest wood. Anybody that finds that shouldn't be there!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FTB one of the farms i shoot has a game shoot and the keeper there asks for eny foxes that are dispached to be taken to his house so he can keep tabs on the numbers that have been found then he disposes of then him self if there is eny thing we dont want he also has that Quote Link to post Share on other sites

stubby 175 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Im sure this was asked a few weeks back, and had around 3 pages of people who just left them where they lay, I suppose it maybe to do with wether its sport or work/pest control, as pest control, anything shot/trapped/poisoned is removed, if its shot pigeon/rabbit/squirrel etc it would go in my freezer, for other singularly shot animals then a normal bin, multiple animals or foxes would either be buried or incinarated ( all poisoned animals incinarated) if a landowner wanted proof then yes, either drop off at their request, or take a picture, but I'd never leave anything, that the general public might find offensive, it would only give us a bad name, and the sport Quote Link to post Share on other sites

martin 332 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 I think you will find that foxes will eat their own if the need arises. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
