I'd have to say Hoppee's, and hot choclate. Dad always fixed some for us when he would wake us up to go hunting. (I usually couldn't sleep anyhow)

To me, the smell that reminds me it's time; really reminds me to get ready to bird hunt! Thats the wet rain in the late summer/early fall when everything smells like dirt. I LOVE IT!! Almost fires me up as much as the dogs love it!

Honestly, (and disgustingly), sometimes my brother will have gas that smellspretty similar to gutting a deer when the stomach is open. Not like I seek out this smell, but its a definite memory trigger.

Tinks 69
I hear ya! I was using the gel this year and the top cam off in my backpack. Its still there after washing it!

I have to say that while raking leaves, reminds me of the "fresh earth" cover scent, or an old bottle of Halston cologne I have that smells like the "acorn" scent.

Skunks.... My uncle used to put out Skunk Screen when we went hunting.. Now each time I pass a dead one on the road it reminds me of those times.. BTW, my wife thinks I am strange because I like the way it smells.

The buck I shot this year reaked of the rut. Man did he stink.I'll remember that hunt anytime I smell that again.

Fresh earth sent is one I love too.

When I smell dry leaves it reminds me of going hunting....that and the plastic cannister of Doe in Estrous Waffersfrom HS that I open up every now and then to take a whiff when I miss going hunting in the off-season!
