I run a plant nursery on a farm which I also shoot over. there are 11 red Kites living on the farm and if I shoot a fox and leave it in a certain spot across a field. I can spend all day whilst working, watching the Kites in that corner of the wood. Quote Link to post

bangerstox10 3 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 Either leave them on the edge of the wood for the Buzzards or leave them by the farmers tractor or put them on the dung pile. Depending where we are and whos land we are on. Quote Link to post

Born Hunter 17,763 Posted February 22, 2012 Report Share Posted February 22, 2012 (edited) We just chuck em in the nearest hedge bottom or ditch out of public sight. Tbh I have no idea what he law thinks to this. The most important thing is to ensure the public do not find these carcasses, It does us no favours at all.

tanktfb 2 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 thanks for the replies i think everyone has more or less the same opinion. I think keeping them out of sight of joe public is the best idea all round i found that the fact that not much will eat the carcuss i thought other foxes might have had ago but you learn something new everyday thanks again tanktfb Quote Link to post
