The Deer-Gut Fart Phenomenon
Posted on 3/16/23 at 1:34 pm

Have we as outdoorsman ever been provided a scientific explanation as to why your farts smell like the guts of the animal or bird you just cleaned? I've personally seen it last up to 48 hours and has made some very interesting trips back from deercamp with a truck full of guys. We once drove from Junction TX back to LA with the windows down 90% of the trip, in January.
Anyone have an explanation?

Also we'll documented with rabbit, squirrel and duck guts.
It's real.

Exactly... Yet no one can really explain it..

Uh, cause the gas is a byproduct of bacterial digestion in both mammals. We aren’t that much different, except a few dietary changes. So, basically the same. Urine is exactly the same, and sterile, which is why people urinate in scrapes to draw in deer…

I didn't eat the deer guts
Maybe you've never witnessed this. It's legit.

When I was a kid I would sniff the ejected brass from my dads handgun. I swore my farts smelled like gun powder afterwards.

It's just science man

They had an explanation for it in one of the Meateater podcast episodes. IRRC the doc said it's all in our heads which I think is bull shite.

I had a dry trap or something allowing sewer gas in my bathroom, I swear my guts have taken in that smell for a month now

Well my farts don't stink.

The same thing happens when people are autopsied FYI and I wish I knew the answer as to why.

You drink beer and eat barely cooked meat at deer camp. Of course you’ll smell like deer guts

Yeah I'm not arguing the beer, pickled quail eggs, boudin, cracklins, and rare meat don't help

I thought about this but have also smelled gut-farts from people that I wasn't around for the cleaning..
This would be a more worthwhile study than these actual studies at Oxford, Cambridge, etc..

Because you don't wash your hands good after cleaning the animal and the bacteria from the animal makes it's way in to your gut/system when you eat or drink. I personally have skinned many deer while drinking a beer.
The bacteria multiplies and you get the phenomenon. It passes through or you fight it off in a day or two.

I have similar experiences after cleaning a load of trout and redfish, farts smell like fish guts

Skin to skin contact is enough to transfer gut micro biome from one organism to another.

I have had this happen more than deer or duck guts. Especially after playing with fireworks for hours on end as a little kid.

Mine smell like marsh mud for a few days after duck hunting. Rather disgusting.
