Ripening wild grape in a mixed hard woods transitioning to 5-7 year successional growth. I grew up in a steep valley in the very beginnings of the Appalachian range. Foothills really, but my first ever squirrel, a black squirrel, was taken amidst the wild grape and hazelnut shrubs and mixed hardwoods. We didn’t have many oaks there so the hickory and beech nuts were the main mast. That smell is so distinctive I wish I could bottle it. Every so often I come upon a spot somewhere that smells just like and immediately I think of that first hunt. Burned into me!!
