leapingfrog Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 (edited) Hi, I'm quite new to this forum and haven been reading a lot of the post on here, some great info! Me and a mate are going out either this week or next to find permissions to shoot, mainly vermin like feral pigeons. I've been looking for days on here, google and other forums but haven't been able to find an answer. How do you dispose of the vermin you shot? I imagine that you wouldn't eat feral pigeons, let alone rats . I have read somewhere that they are 'supposed' to be disposed of correctly or something or the other. Any advice greatly appreciated. :( Edited August 26, 2010 by leapingfrog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 Dig a hole and bury them is the favourite option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CraigBenson Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 I suppose it depends on the quantity, only a few you can use them to bait a set area to draw foxes to the gun. Larger numbers either bury them or find somewhere with the relevent type of skip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soreshoulder Posted August 26, 2010 Report Share Posted August 26, 2010 dont throw them in a slurry pit as the bones can clog up the slurry tankers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
