Scavenging puppy

Hi all,
I have a six month old pup who has just lead me a merry dance on our morning walk. He was off lead and he spotted a carcass of a bird. He grabbed it and then wouldnt let me near him - running away if I came close - until he had devoured the whole thing.
I have taught a strong recall and "leave it" is normally ok but the desire for this rotting carcass was too strong.
Any tips?

Lurking.... We have a 9 week old pup..

My mums cockapoo has done exactly the same thing with a seagull carcass. She was stuck as to what to do as well, she's extremely vigilant now.

Urgh! He has just puked up a great lump of it on my carpet. [puke]
