What Do You Do With Your Kills?


Recommended Posts

up until now I have disposed of my inedible kills via the permission owner. he had an incinerator, but has now gotten rid of it and has said we all need to deal with the kills ourselves.

 

all clean rabbits and woodies either go in the pot or in the dog, but what about crows, magpies and foxes? what do you do with them once they are shot?

Wild animals are exempt from the Animal (By Products) regulations that govern the disposal of livestock.

 

In effect, that means you can dump them, but in reality that would be a bad thing to do... Dig a pit and chuck 'em in there with a shovelful of soil over them every time.

I freeze dead crows and use them as deeks then leave them in hedgerow to feed the foxes etc once they are too far gone.....nothing wrong with giving the foxes a helping hand

 

Dead foxes are tucked away discreetly in any cover to return to the earth and feed anything that fancies a nibble

Maggies are left for foxes

 

Anything edible is eaten by me or the dogs

I would say 99% do exactly the same as me, chuck them somewhere out the way and leave nature to do it's thing. More often than not, the nearest hedge bottom or ditch. Always intrigues me when a big fox just dissapears over night.........

They used to be called gamekeepers gibbets in the old days. The keeper would hang vermin on the fence so his boss would see he was doing his job.
