Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A smell so bad I can't think about it w/o gagging just a bit

OK , just plain old "whacked by a boat" then.

That's the truth & have you ever noticed that the body of a dead snake doesn't last long ? , it will just melt and disappear in about a day.

Mike

That would be my professional opinion.

Glad you told us the size of that turtle. The turtle looked small but I guess it was the boat that made it look small.

So, I guess it smelled worse than a dead and bloated opossum?

Ernie

this one is a Juvenal logger head, about the same size.

Not true. Dead dimocraps and dead muzzies smell good.

I guess your son has never taken the remains of a butchered deer (skin,head,legs,etc),and put it in the back of your fishing SUV(parked for the season,used to get to that special lake,way back in the woods,with only a terrible road for access) ,where it went undiscovered till late spring the next year,like what happened to my sister.
It stunk so bad they left it parked with the windows open for 2 years,and finally just junked it.A Mitsubishi Montero,it started right up and drove away after 2 years,but it still would make you gag.

He put it in there so his dog wouldnt eat any of it.

Oh but I did, with my cousin's help, throw the bones from a white tail deer into a 64 quart cooler and then open it after two weeks of September sun. His cooler BTW. Not as bad as today.

One of my cousins had a freezer in his garage full of deer meat
that either broke down or someone unplugged during the summer
the stench about knocked you down when you went into the garage. He tied a chain to the frig and drug it out with his
tractor just to get rid of it.

So, back to the turtle. Did you guys make soup, or what?

So, did you pinpoint the stink? was it the shell noodle oodlers or was it the turtle juices? Did you get your nose in there and pinpoint the source?

What are shell noodle oodlers?

The noodle shaped, gut colored oodlers hanging out of the busted shell.

"oodler" is a field dressing medical term used to describe animal innard pieces that otherwise wouldn't have a name at all.

See, thems turtle oodlers.

I can tell because they are hanging out of a turtle.

as bad as it might have been, I can't imagine it being worse than this

pour some orange juice inside that shell, a little duck tape, some jumper cables....

Laughing, gagging, puking, and stripping, all mixed together!

My gut hurts from laughing!!

Never been around any smell that gags me, but was around a girl one time long ago over in Arkansas that spooked the hell outta me

When I saw that sombish nekkid, I didnt know wheather to go get a 55 gal. drum of seven dust, or a [bleep] weed-eater, fire that mutha up and start lookin for blackberries

i dont know how to describe it but sub a 10 pound snake or turtle for the deer parts and meat in the same situation and you would have something that smells several magnitudes worse.....ive happened to be around some nasty smelling stuff before including whole cows ripening in 100 degree heat but a coming home to a 10 pound boa that died a couple days before and spent the whole weekend cooking on a 98 degree heat pad damn near makes yah think bout just moving to a new house the hell with all your stuff, you can always buy new.....
