Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Smells you remember, like?

Just fired paper shot shell.

Dursban TC.

the xylene carrier especially

- The smell of turkey cooking on Christmas Day at my grandparents house.
- The smell of the woods while bird hunting in October.

I lost my sense of smell & taste about 6 yrs ago but I do have a lot of other things to be very thankful for.

Old trucks.

So, you had covid, 6 years ago !

The smell of a dead bull elk or deer in thick cover...You know you’re close to finding him.

👍🏻😎

Yep, and dead cat squirrels on a cold frosty morning.

I always liked finding them before they really got to smelling.

I never noticed deer smell much before opening one up, but heck yeah on a bull elk.

Deer skinned and hanging in the basement of my house in Montana

IMR powders. They have a singular distinct smell when fired. I recognize it instantly when I smell it. It smells like hunting to me, from my younger years.

The smell of the ocean after a rainstorm. I've been to the Pacific from San Diego up to Oregon, and the Atlantic from the Gulf all the way around Florida up through Maine. It smells like peace, to me.

When I was in my early 20's, I had a 19-year-old girlfriend who smelled and tasted like strawberries. She was kinky as hell. She HATED wearing panties, and loved wearing skirts. I will never forget her smell.

Angel Juice in the morning

The smell of cucumbers while picking blackberries

Horses, Brahma cattle, burnt gunpowder, puppy dogs, mud on a hot muffler, salt air on the gulf, a fishing camp, and even though I despise being cooped up with a smoker I always liked the faint smell of a cigarette from 20 feet away across the deck of a trawler out on the Gulf. I'll think of more.

F’ that nonsense...... yikes

A genuine ol' time terbacky shoppe.

Do they even have such a thing anymore?

Running through the impact site of an Arclight mission on a few companies of NVA. The smell of victory is not always sweet. Bomb damage assessment missions were the worst.

smell of the ocean and the sound of sea gulls when you wake up early in the morning on the sand.

Testor’s modeling glue

And acetone finger nail polish remover.


good stuff

Okay........so I'm not fahqin' crazy. I tell people they smell like cucumbers or broken watermelon rind, especially when you run over them on the road on a warm rainy night.

They look at me like I have a big cyclops eye in my forehead.
