Cleaning my gun today with the fresh fall air, and early morning hunting. The smell of Hoops #9 solvent blasts me back to being 14. Shooting my first gun and cleaning it. The preparation of gun season and becoming a man.
What other smells you guys have that bring memories of hunting?

My wife makes car fresheners, and I spent months trying to get the beads she uses to soak up hoppes #9. Never was able to get the good smell to come through on the final product.

I have a couple of old bottles of Sure-Kill earth scent I keep out in my shop. I am always taking off the lid and taking a whiff and it takes me back in time.

OFF mosquito repellent. Without fail, every time I smell it, I’m reminded of my dad waking me up an hour before daylight when I was around 10 to take me squirrel hunting. Mosquitoes were usually thick in September, so he would bathe me in that stuff before we wondered through the woods chasing tree rats.
