The shit you find on a 4 hour hiking trail up the mountain,the smell can be described as steaming shit with a sour smell to it if any of you wanted to know what a dead corpse smells like.Was ugly to look at ,one of its front legs was a little bit off to the left but I didn't take a picture of that ,the eyes where gone and it's anus looked prolapsed as you walk by it and look back one last time ,kept walking the trail until I got to the summit .
I came across a dead kangaroo rat at work today. Must not have been long there were just a couple ants not even flies yet

>>2871238 I opened up a cooler on a log road one summer and there were like three elk heads just sweltering and rotting in it. Absolutely obliterated me, the smell was just ungodly.

>>2871238 Always dreamed about getting those flesh eating beetles, grabbing some roadkill, and getting into bone working. Already asking a lot of sheltered vegetarian GF by killing the chickens we raise tho. Maybe I'll build up her tolerance for death one day.

>>2871238 There won’t be much left. Scavengers will run off and scatter a lot of the remains. Bears will break open the long bones and feast on the delicious bone marrow (seriously, bone marrow is fantastic). Feral hogs will straight up eat smaller bones. It’s why you never really happen upon an entire skeleton in the woods but might find a few bones here and there. I once found 6 or 7 vertebrae in the middle of an abandoned forest service road. No flesh, skin, cartilage, or other bones.

I can't smell death for some reason, like at all. I can be standing right next to a rotting carcass and I don't smell a thing. I can smell other things fine. Does anyone else have this issue?
I was working once and came across this random pile of dead fish a few hundred feet off of a busy road. It was huge and surrounded by vultures, I don't know why someone would dump that much fish. There was also a dying deer nearby lying in the bushes, I guess someone had accidentally hit it and dragged it off the road or something but why they took it so far off of the road idk, maybe it got hit on the dirt road down that path instead of the main road. It was just lying there gasping for air. When we finished working that day on our way back to the truck it wasn't moving anymore. Still don't know what to think about any of that.
