Last fall when in the elk woods, my hunting buddy would not stop farting! It first hit me when we were walking along a trail and he was 5-10 yards in front of me. I was getting a whiff of a foul stench and initially thought that we were coming upon a carcass. But after a mile or so I kept smelling it and learned that the death was coming from my buddies ass.
The farts just kept coming and coming and coming. I learned real quick to lead the way so I didn’t have to trail behind the stench. Some were loud but most were inaudible and you didn’t know they were expelled until 15-30 seconds later when it hit your nose.
I kept telling my buddy to plug it up as it was affecting the hunt. He seemed to think otherwise and after a few days of the non-stop waves of funk I think he started to believe that it might be a factor.
Long story short, we only got into elk once in 5 days and ate tag soup. I’m convinced that his farts were a big contributing factor, he still thinks it wasn’t that big of a deal.
It didn’t stop when we got out of the woods either. On the way home it was below freezing and the truck quickly began to stink so bad I was forced to drive with the windows down it was pretty brutal.
Have any of you had this issue or a buddy that won’t stop farting? Do you think the odor affects animals and the hunt? I blame the dehydrated meals or maybe the IPAs my buddy had the night before we first started hunting. Any suggestions I can pass along to my hunting partner to stop the stink? If it happens again this season I may be looking for a new hunting partner.
