I used to have a guy who was a custom smoker, I had a bunch of whole geese and ducks smoked one year, he put them in mesh bags like hams. I froze them and thawed them one at a time when I wanted a good snack. They were delicious, just put them in the oven at 200 degrees and a while then get them out put them on a plate with some good cheese, some beer and a sharp knife. The only one I ever had that wasn't delicious was a Shovler, it was really bad.
