Ask any of the country folk and they all shall describe a deer’s scent the same way. It is a sweet musk smell mixed with a pungent fecal stench. Their odor is so heavy that the human nose is infallible at least for a recent deer’s attendance on the path.
The deer’s crossing seems always to be perpendicular to the path’s direction. Out from dense woods, onto the open trail and into a thicket of briar and bracken, the deer has moved.
