So burying Charlie is not allowed
If you have killed a wild animal as vermin or to reduce the population, you need to dispose of carcasses appropriately.
What does appropriately mean in this instance?

It refers to emergency situations and people authorised to bury carcases, so does this mean the average fox hunter has such authorisation? I have never met anyone that has mentioned this.

So what do our resident fox hunters do?

You must not bury any animal carcasses or parts of carcasses on your land. This applies to dead farmed and wild animals and birds.

However, you are allowed to bury dead pets on your own premises or in an authorised pet cemetery or landfill site.

You can only bury carcasses or parts of carcasses in certain circumstances, such as when a disease outbreak occurs or in designated remote areas. Even if you have permission to bury carcasses you will have to comply with certain restrictions.
