Whats your favorite smell?

What is it about some oders that get you pumped about hunting. Some of my favorites are the smell of cedar in my archery shop, dry leaves in the fall, the musty canvas tent that has been stored since last year, and last but not least skunk. I pourposly will run over an already dead skunk just to get the smell on my truck. I have asked my wife to wear skunk scent instead of perfume, she thinks I'm joking.

It's really simple. Just don't take those borderline shots. Tomorrow is another day.

Crisp new uncirculated $100.00 dollar bills. If they have been around you may end up with a snout full of drugs.

Napalm in the morning….
But, black timber with the scent of elk is pretty good, too.

Hunting related:
My property has sweet fern mixed through out, I love that smell! I bring some home to remind me of hunts up north.
Musky deer smell tells me things are going to heat up in the season.
other:
Bacon cooking
ribs cooking
pies and cookies cooking

Good one Andrew, these other guys have no instinct. I think they would rather eat a twinky.

In the fall.......the woods, Hemlock, decaying leaves, catching a whiff of a scrape before you get to it. The smell of coffee while on stand.
In the summer........fresh cut hay, lilacs right now, wild flocks and the smell of rain coming!

Fresh black coffee and bacon at hunting camp, my fathers cigarette smoke within reason, new boot leather as I hand rub mink oil into the grain, the faint but distinct fragrance of rotting apples adrift in my favorite orchard/ravine, smoke from a crackeling campfire after a damp cool fall hunt, the smell of the cabin stove drifting through the woods as you return after dark from your hunt,

Pine, Hemlock, on the first frosty morning, almost takes your breath away

An archer tries to find ways to shoot further more accurately, a bowhunter tries to get as close as possible to ensure his shot is accurate.

Bowstring wax had a smell in the old days, kind of fishy smelling. When I showed someone my 60s Hill brochures and old magazines with Swinehart, I could smell that old string wax.

I keep my tips from my part time job in a drawer stacked up and when I open the drawer I'm greeted with the smell of money. I use the tips to pay for all of my hunting, fishing and golf trips for the year.

Elk!
A close second would be Autumn Olive in the spring (turkey season).

An easy one for me....Lodge Pole Pine about midday when the summer sun warms it.

Nothing like a good whiff of "ELK" on a crisp September morning.
