Heladoxa Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Bury them, whatever you do, don't eat them. WHY? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norrie Posted August 7, 2010 Report Share Posted August 7, 2010 Yep, Good advice..dont even contemplate eating them....they are full of pests and parasites...the saying "Rats with wings" is correct. I shoot them in a council waste transfer station, and was told by the management to leave them where they fall, all be it in a pile... and properly trained guys will remove them the next morning......:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imperfection Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 WHY? Go into most towns etc early morning and you'll see ferrals eating vomit which drunks have deposited the night before.Now question yourself-do i really want to eat something which has a fondness for puke.

Cannon Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I normally treat them as if they were rats. Rubber gloves and all that. But as for disposing of them, either a big pit unlikely to be disturbed by civilisation for some time, or a steel bin and some flames. Just make sure it's in the ar*ehole of nowhere because it stinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TJ91 Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 they arent all mangey little things, the land i shoot over has a good number that i could garantee never see a town, they feed amongst the pigs and in the crops alongside the woodies, i know a fella who has and still does eat them personally i leave them for the fox bait and the keeper knows where mr fox will be that night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

libs Posted August 8, 2010 Report Share Posted August 8, 2010 I shoot loads around cattle barns with a moderated .410 and tend to just fill an old feed bag up with them and stuff it to the bottom of a bin. Kept a few before to use as fox bait too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
