Has anyone experienced that heavy smell a rutted up deer makes? I can recall a few times I smelled it, and ignored it. Should have followed it.
Last season towards the end in December I was headed out to the big box blind in hopes to knock down a late season doe. Along the way I smelt that heavy deer smell. I kept walking to the blind anyway. Later that evening I saw a few bucks and doe or two come out from where I was smelling it. Kicking my self I watched them not come any where close to me. I can recall a few times years ago at my parents house smelling that same smell blowing in from the corn field and grassy area behind the house. Is this my imagination, or can a rutted up buck really put out some stank? And if you do, seems it is a definite hunt this area.
