Any of you ever experience the phenomenon that occurs after skinning and/or fleshing a number of one species where your farts will smell like those animals ?

Gray fox have a unique odor when you skin em', I think it smells good actually. I've been skinning a bunch that I froze whole and fleshing and stretching them along with a bunch I skinned in the field.

So my farts have this delightful gray fox aura to them, that kinda lingers. As such, I marked the bank, the bakery and the hardware store this morning. Made a dog bark at me and caused a cat to run up a tree.

Take a shower and don't forget the soap!

What good would that do for this particular phenomenon.

I see it as an olfactory testament to a successful season, one that enables others to bask in the glory of nature.

I consider myself a giving person and freely share when blessed with such bounty.

If you have not included the last two sentences on your reume, you should at least consider having them on your tombstone.
I actually have noticed the same unusual effect after skinning/cleaning rabbits/quail that have been eating fresh grass, but never noticed if any cats ran up trees.

As a related matter, there is an old Norwegian saying to the effect that "All men like the smell of their own farts." N.S.

take a couple of days and smell the flowers,your fox smells may come up roses.

Yup. Prices are looking damn good for my gray fox and bobcats.

I think this furbearer fart phenomenon has a spiritual component.

When I skin and flesh a fox, coyote or bobcat their spirit enters me as I breathe, to mingle with my own spirit deep inside.

And when they feel the need to be set free they announce it.

The fox spirits do so with a bark and the bobcat spirits with a low, prolonged growl. Both have a proud resonance.

The coyotes like to slip out unnoticed audibally, preffering an olfactory proclamation. And they seem to prefer to do so whilst I stand in line at the grocery store, ride in an elevator or anywhere there's a crowd.

..those coyotes, such the jesters of nature...

..those grocery line anonymous venting sessions are hilarious. .I much prefer the "walk by" method...the pedestrian equivalent of the "drive by shooting" ....with olfactory insults thrown in....the kids love it
another excellent place to practice is the local bookstore
Caribou rules for generation of "death gas"

LOL

I hear that however that action can severely limit or eliminate any late night activities...

If you take your dog with you to the local pet store, there is a foolproof target for blame..

"yes ma'am, we are here to buy {insert dogs name} some new food because the stuff he has been eating gives him terrible gas....uh huh....yes, that was him, you never hear them, they just sneak up on you and put a strangle hold on your nose and throat"

Ha, life is sure fun !!

all kidding aside, i have expierenced this when skinnin squirrels and gutting turkeys....hmmm go figure LMAO!!!!

It is just a natural thing ... If you go out when a farmer is plowing good earth , in a day your farts will smell like the dirt .. , Spend time falling Red Cedar , and guess what your [ gas ] smells like , .. . ., What ever you breath goes into your blood and the impurities get filtered out and expelled ...

I agree with gumboot458 pheasant farts ect ect.

Perhaps you should spend some time pruning the roses or baking pies. This may sweeten your farts since their smell is so easily influenced by what you touch.

Please don't stand next to me after an episode of Skunk skinning.

I've experienced the same thing after duck hunting standing in a marsh inhaling the marsh gas,...Thought is was just me rotting from the inside out

Nothing worse in my house than me after eating fish....phish pharts. Carp are expecially odiferous...karp krap. Not much quantity but the quality will bring a tear to your eye

You only have to worry when you are walking down the street
and a whole load of dogs are following you.


Then you really will get a few weird looks

I didn't fart but today after spending a few hours in the mountains scouting for bear the waitress at the restaurant said I smelled like fresh air and leaves.

Time to resurrect this thread.

I remember reading this and tried to explain to someone the phenomenon with an incredibly nasty duck/goose fart in a large hunting blind-occupied by 6 goose hunters. One of guys asked what a feather from near the "oil can" would smell like if stuck in the propane heater? I warned/begged him no to do so, because I would respond with a goose fart. Brandon called my bluff and burned a feather and I stood up and let it rip-right in his face Oh my God It was horrendous!

The day before I had cleaned a bunch of ducks and geese and WOW what flatulence !

Afterwards several of the other hunters actually allowed how they had noticed something similar when gutting deer. One of the hunters happened to be a dermatologist. He said the skin is an organ and it absorbs all kinds of liquids that the body has to process. Transporting to the colon for disposal is not uncommon.

I guess if we were to wear rubber gloves this could be avoided, but that would kill all the fun !

Hell of a deal. Back in '12 I lost my colon and a/h.
Chron's about did me in.

Now with this sorry belly bag setup when what would have been a fart.
Just makes loud noises and fills the bag with gas.
Need to pay attention when it does as too much pressure blows it off the mounting ring.
Then there's one hell of a mess too!

Be glad you still have yours!! This ain't much fun.

I've been saying not having and A/H, changing my attitude is the hard part!
