Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Worst stank you ever smelled?

Let's hear it.

Chipmunks got in behind my freezer in the shop, chewed the wires to the compressor. Little bastards.

Didnt open that freezer for a few weeks. I had at least 2 deer and a mix other jeffery dahmer oddities. Had a gray fox road kill in there and about 3 sets of deer tarsals(they were double bagged) but.....

Old oil drum been sitting outside collecting some rain water.

There was a touch of oil in there too.

The bad smell came from the 50 pounds of carrion beetles that had been decomposing in there.

Shew!!!

I recall a bucket of japanese bettles attached to a scent lure like that once.

Twin calves, unborn, dead a couple days.
I found ones head hanging out on Monday, the weekend guy was slacking I guess.
When we took the cow in the barn, and the vet used a cable to cut them up,

It smelled bad.

35 or so Afghans in a smallish room during an 1 1/2 hour PT session.

It was rainy season so PT was being done indoors and it was vomit inducing.

I had to pee a few days ago when I was in Clarksville TN, and I stopped at a service station just down the road from a Chinese buffet. That men's room smelled so bad it would have gagged a maggot. Some old fart must have eat Chinese, and then that service station was as far as he made it. I complained about the smell to the gal behind the counter, and she said some dude in an old green Ford truck was the guilty party.

An elk that had been gut shot two days earlier

Other notables:

Tub of nightcrawlers I forgot about in a playmate cooler.

Damn, damn, damn......



An eggfart this old bag English professor pooted out when I was getting her to sign a form for me. I was trapped in her office for 10 mins. 😩😩

Firebase AACHEN II late 1968 early 1969 sometime in that range.

Got drunk, porked a fat girl once. Woke up, damn her pussy smelled bad. I think the smell was in my mustache too.

Squid. For bait. In the trunk of a rental car for somegtime. In Florida. During the summer.

Worse than dead bodies.

An old Farmer John tanker trailer I had to pick up at a Fruehauf yard and deliver to some ranch out in the desert, When I got there I noticed the valve was leaking (dripping) and wouldn't close off completely. Damn thing had been left sitting in the back of their yard for a couple years still half full of pig fat renderings. Got the top hatch opened and it liked to knocked me out, slid off the side of the trailer and wasn't about to get back up there to close it. Drove it with it opened. Good thing I didn't get into stop and go traffic.

Try cleaning out a 'grease pit' in an army mess hall sometime!!

Meh, I work around thousands of dead fish all fall every year. I am pretty tolerant to bad smells. About the worst I have ever smelled though is a dead whale, wooo weee.

my fridge/freezer quit while i was out of town working. probably gone for 2 weeks. I had a packaged antelope and deer in the freezer
the swelling opened the door, and it ran out of the kitchen floor
live flies, dead flies, maggots throughout the whole house.
i smelled it from the driveway when i got out of the truck at 5am,
tooks months to get back to normal !

I usually throw my deer carcasses in my dumpster here at work. Usually during hunting season it's cold enough that they don't get funky before the trash man comes on Wednesday. One year in early bow season, I shot a deer on Friday evening and it was a little warm out. I cut up the deer that night and brought the trash to work the next day. We started to have a real bad heat wave where it was up over 90* everyday. By Wednesday it was getting pretty ripe. I was walking out to the stone yard with a customer and when we walked past the dumpster, the smell about knocked us over. This guy comments and says, "Schit.......man, what the hell you got in there, a dead body or something?" I played dumb and said that I didn't know, but the trash man was coming today.

I had to tape up the freezer with duct tape and we hauled to a sinkhole back here on the farm. Shot it up full of holes and left it be.

Dead black bear...

Was bear hunting in New Brunswick, one of the hunters killed a huge blackie right at dark. Guide was a young kid, and wanted to wait till the morning to find the bear..

Well, he didn't get to gutting it til the next evening, even though they found the bear early in the morning..... don't ask me why, don't have a clue.

Anyway they brought the bear back to camp that night, and it was obvious that the bear had spoiled.

It took 5 guides, with towels over their face to skin it. They could only stand it for a couple of mins, then the next guy would take over.

You couldn't get within 40 yards down wind of the thing without gagging.

Bear was huge, 400 - 500lbs easily.

Needless to say, Hunter and the outfitter were furious.


Not sure if the hide was salvageable or not.

I found the body of a murdered girl here on my farm. She was pretty ripe, and I pray I'll never have to smell that again.

My son found a coconut washed up on the beach on north padre Island and decided to crack it open. No coconuts grow there, so no telling how long it had been bobbing around in the gulf. The nastiest, most foul smelling rotten coconut milk spewed out of that thing and got all over him just as we were packing up camp to leave the park. I'm sure the other campers didn't appreciate that for next couple of days, LOL
