No, but I worked a boundary survey at a rendering plat where dead animals were brought to get hides and bones, and everything else of value. And this was in the middle of summer. whooooo

I grew up on a hog farm on top of a hill. During certain nights, the scent drifted downhill in all directions. I'm sure the neighbors (and the realtors) would have appreciated a stench map.

I could have drawn a stench map of the odor plume that occurred each time the septic guy pumped the job site outhouse.

Only took once, and I quickly learned to move out of the plume path each time I saw the pump truck show up. Horrible does not begin to describe it.

I talked to the pump guy once about it, because the outhouses rarely gets used. I could not figure out why it smelled so bad. He said the suction hose pulls air into his tank, which gets vented outside. So it was his tank that smelled so bad not the outhouse.

One summers morning in the late 1970s, the first setup for a cross country electric transmission line was next to the chicken processing plant in DeQueen, Arkansas. We then headed out and crossed by too many chicken houses on our way to Mena. There is nothing like setting up in a field that has had chicken manure & feathers spread over it and the black flies swarming thick as fog. Then we enter an asbuilt section that was sprayed with Herbicide Orange.
