There is something about the first smell of fall that gets me going, when that first cool front gets to you. I don't know what it is, but my old bird dog and I would get it about the same time, then we were pretty much no good until hunting season started.

The fall woods on a slightly damp day, the smell of wood and hay and old farm machinery in a barn, pine and cedar in my wood shop, and pipe smoke. (I don't smoke, but it reminds me of my Grandfather). Thanks; this thread brought back some nice memories.

Love the smell of sage when hunting on the east side of the state.

Coffee on a campfire in the predawn hours with the smell of damp sage in the air on the high plains of Wyoming!

The fresh scent of
ELK
at first light on a mountain sidehill covered with a light frost with cow calls poppin' all around and the rakin' sound of herd bull antlers within a stones throw to the front and the top of a small subalpine fir dancin' back and forth against the horizon with an arrow, tipped with a razor sharp Kodiak, nocked on the string of my favorite longbow....
Shoot straight, Shinken

I would have to say the faint smell of skunk, it reminds me of October and a old archery shop I would go to when I was just starting , he must have had a bottle spill in the shop a little. And the smell of maple and poplar leaves in the fall, gets me pumped.

Our deer season opens Aug15....so I typically notice the smell of fresh cut grass and pluff mud from the marshes around then....but there is a cedar tree I used to walk by on way to my lease for years that I would always grab a handful and crush and rub on my face and hands...so eastern red cedar (juniper) brings back memories of early season bowhunts.
Turkey season is tied to the smell of honeysuckle...whether in field or riding motorcycle...the smell takes me back to lush green forests, oak glens on the edge of cypress and tupelo swamps.

There is a smell of rotting vegetation in the elk woods in the fall, usually at the head of a small creek.
Lots of great smells, really. I would hate to lose that sense.
Yeah, coffee over a fire, broken cedar shaft, string wax, feather burner at work in the garage, my German longhaired pointer coming in from the snow, a girlfriend (since passed away) had the best smelling hair and skin...miss her.
