You said "smell it", well I had a lab when I was in school that would not pick up the spoonies that were bad. We figured this out when she would leave them on the pond, although she got her arse in trouble the first few times she left ducks on the pond until we figured out she knew which ones had a crustacean diet. I have found fish in mallards craws and never had one that was bad, but find one with a crawfish or clam and you could not stay in the house when cooking then. Another duck my dog never picked up was mergansers, didn't matter how much forcing you did, she would not pick them up....
