I had a dead deer at the end of my property, (hit by car) it was in the 80’s and I was out on the tractor cutting grass, you couldn’t get within 20 of that carcass without actually gagging....Went to the elevator in town for some quick lime to dry out the deer to stop the smell. The guy at the elevator told me to put Vicks under my nose and I could shovel the lime onto the deer and wouldn’t be able to smell it.....worked like a charm, could get right next to the deer and shovel the lime on it....LIme kills the bacteria that causes the odor on dead things...next day, no smell.....
