I have been away from Minnesota for over 40 years but still remember the smell of them at night when they were disturbed and sprayed. They used to attack my moms duck and chicken nests and get the eggs out of the nests. And when the dog chased them and got sprayed he used to go in the swamp to try to get rid of the smell off his fur. Havent smelt one since I come to Australia guess I am not missing anything.
