What animals smell really really bad? like, wake you up in the middle of the night bad?
I was solo camping in the White Mountains earlier this summer about 200 yards off a trail but about 8 miles from the nearest trail head, so fairly remote for New Hampshire. I was hanging on a little peninsula where a descent sized brook joined a large stream. [where the Jumping Brook joins the North Fork, off of Thoreau Falls Trail]
I woke up in the middle of the night due to a god-awful smell. It wasn't me
And not a skunk or wet dog, that's for sure. Worse then any manure smell too. I haven't smelled a lot of dead things in my life but not sure how else to describe it.
Was unable to see or hear anything and was kind of glad that I couldn't. The smell quickly went away...
My Dad says that bears coming out of hibernation are stinky [but too late in the year for that], but a wet bear probably stinks too.
Any ideas? I would really like to hear them, thanks.
