I cant be the only one.
Fairly often I will be out scouting and the smell of a wet dog will hit me. If anyone else has encountered this I feel like you would agree that is exactly what it smells like.
I always thought that a coyote or something must be near by but I have never been able to prove that is what I was smelling. Anyone wanna put their 2 cents in on this?
Have you noticed the smell!?

Re: Have you noticed the smell!?
I don't know what you're smelling.
Fox and coyotes stink, but not really like a wet domestic dog, at least not to my nose.
(And I can't STAND the smell of a wet hound; I find it particularly revolting- way worse than skunk scent of equal intensity. I have a strong stomach but that will make me retch.)

I wouldn't equate it to wet dog but I can definitely smell fresh deer scent.

Especially a ruttin’ buck. Stanley always said after pissing all over themselves they are a walking latrine during the rut. I agree. If you get downwind of them there is no mistaking.

I can smell deer often.
I also think I know what you are talking about. That musty wet towel smell. I always just thought it was woodland decay.

Not sure what state you are in but a bear will smell like wet dog to me.

I smell deer all the time. I was just telling someone about it today and he thinks I’m crazy.
