webber Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 If you have pheasants etc on your shoot, you could set up a "dead bin" Take an old pheasant feeder, probably one that the squirrels have rendered useless. Drill or melt loads of holes into the drum 12mm or larger will do, no need to be fussy. Place your dead foxes, squirrels, crows etc. into the bin. Fly will blow on the bodies, maggots will be produced. Pheasants love maggots, which are free protein for them, the birds will thrive. When the bin is full, and ceased producing maggots, dig a suitable hole and bury the remains. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 (edited) The one time I tried a dead bin/stink bin after reading how good it was lead to one of the worst chest infections I have ever had. After a couple weeks dumping dead rabbits in it I went to get rid of the black hairy gunge that it became and choked on the acrid wiff it gave off. I had been expecting an awfull rotting stink - but it never did pong like I expected it would. Anything taking a close sniff or lick of that would have curled up and died the same day. I chuck them on top of hedges so that birds can have a peck and as they rot maggots will drop off them.

Dave If you leave the bin long enough all the stink etc. goes away, the maggots consume most of the product that can rot to make any smell. Plonking stuff on top of hedges certainly does work, but it doesn't look too good to the blue anorak bregade; whereas to the untrained eye a dead bin looks little different to a bog standard pheasant feeder. webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-G Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Point taken webbsy, I throw it onto the hedge so it falls through the surface and most times it stops part way down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cockercas Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 Are you sure that rotting carcasses in a watercourse is a good thing? try thinking about it? it washes straight into the humber. theres dead sheep and other stuff floating in it not to mention all the dead fish and rubbish, think it through before you type Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know if foxes would be covered by it, but have a read through DEFRA's 'Disposal of Animal By-products' guidance note and it looks like its possible that the Environment Agency can prosecute for this type of disposal.

Monynut Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 (edited) Not quite sure were the regulation is but you can not bury any carcase or animal by product within 6' of a water cause, you can put them in the bin for removal if you are not doing it as a job or even the brown "green" waste bags, l do this with all my deer waste after l have butchered them, they may have a bitch about it to start with as they did with me but l got BASC involved and they backed down all they asked was for me to double bag it, no problem.
