big bad lindz Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 How do most of you dispose the carcass of shot fowl or game. I have heard that it should not be put into your normal household wheely bin. Does this change between local council’s. I am talking mostly about birds that have been breasted and or legs removed as well, leaving behind the rest to be binned. The most I have had at any one time is 5, 3 phesant & 2 goose. I usually double bag them and put it in the bin. I dont want to ask the council in case they get narky about it. Although I have some woodland near to my house with no public access paths, I dont want to just dump them in there although I know there are foxs and ferral cats about that would clean them up.

Albert 888 Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 All my carcasses go in the wheelie bin. Not that many at the moment tho:'(. My brother and dad also do the same in Lancashire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halfbee Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Our green bin is for uncooked kitchen waste, mine is often full of breasted pigeons, rabbit pelts and pheasant feathers. It's no more offensive than a battery farmed chicken carcass to me and I've never had a nasty Letter from the council. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reabrook Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 A few years ago I had reason to speak to our local council with reference to waste disposal. Whilst I was on the phone to a really helpful lady (honest!) I thought I'd chance my arm and ask her about my own situation. Basically the bottom line was that as long as I wasn't a commercial operation, which I'm not, there was nothing preventing me from putting dog waste from my kennel or carcasses etc from shot birds in my bin. Her advice was to wrap it as well as I could before doing so. I now double bag anything and everything and put it in the bin. The big downside to this is the bloody fortnightly bin collections. As I only live a mile from a recycling centre I often take a bag or two there. Rather than ask the guy down there the specific question I just asked if I was ok dumping household rubbish as I was worried about the smell etc from decomposing waste that was only collected once a fortnight. His reply was that if it was ok to go in my bin it was ok to take it to the centre. Good enough for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IEH Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 If you freeze the carcasses and then put them in the wheelie bin on collection day - no smells Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scolopax Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Only thing I breast out are pigeons, other game and wildfowl are fully dressed oven ready. Quite enjoy doing it to be honest. Any waste is fed to the foxes which will clear it all up overnight (town foxes). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pegasus bridge Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 i try and gut /breast /dress as much as i can in the field, and leave the waste somewhere out of sight for the fox/badgers. it is usually gone overnight. If it is quite a large amount i leave it in a few locations, all away from footpaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent Posted December 7, 2012 Report Share Posted December 7, 2012 Many wildfowling clubs will expell members for leaving birds behind after breasting etc. Mine are used to make stocks and soups, go out as fox /crow bait or plopped in the bin (our council does weekly collections) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
