Its hard to get over after you smell one of 'em.
These might be from the lil bugs that get into deer though. I'm sure you guys have seen 'em too. Sometimes they swell up as big as a volleyball. Though it looks gross, they are supposed to be harmless.
Speaking of stinky wounds... I had a guy bring in a buck during gun season one year that would score close to BC...it was huge. I didn't measure it, may have been in the 160's, but it was a dandy regardless. He wanted it chopped up, so I skinned it down, smelling the sucker the whole time. When I got down to the shoulder/neck region I found part of an arrow with a broadhead. He said the deer was laying in a creek when he shot it....it was feeling pretty bad I'd say. I called the dude cause I wanted it out of my shop before I puked. I let him check it out, get a good sniff. He turned around while saying "F... it, throw it all away".... After smelling that thing, I had to convince him he should take the head and cape with him as he could still mount it. He drove a van. I'd bet he gagged before getting to the end of the driveway.rotflmao
