Goofoff will help cut thru the smell. We get a container that you pull a towel out and another one pops up we keep it in the truck so if we go to look at animals when we get done we wipe our hands no need for water.

I didn't understand 'buck stink' except in principle until today. OMG--I went to look at a pygmy doeling today & she is caged in a small area with the cutest adult buck. He was also very sweet...but good Lord did he smell! I didn't actually notice it until I got back in the car (without the doeling). I kept smelling something funky and finally gathered up enough nerve to sniff the hand I petted the buck with. Had to roll the window down some & crank up the a/c & it STILL didn't help! Of course I had NO wet wipes of any kind...had to stop into a convenience store & tried scrubbing the stank off my hand. NOPE, it didn't work. I don't know how many times I scrubbed my hands when I got home before the smell lessoned enough that I could deal with being near myself...
Next time I go prepared!

At the place where we got our first buck, the folks had like 40 acres...but everything they had was within about 100' of the front door. Goat pens.. Chicken coops.. Horses.. Geese, which were literally just wandering around the house..

I dunno why, but...yeah, that's the way they designed it...and that included a buckpen with five or six adult bucks in full rut, right across the driveway from their front door. The whole place just REEKED.

The guy had me step inside their house for a minute while he looked for paperwork or something -- NO CHANGE. Everything in their house reeked of a rutting nubian buck goat. I suspect that whatever wasn't wafting in the front door was coming in on clothing, which was then getting ground into the furniture.

:sick

I can't even imagine. If I get buck crunk on me, I come straight in the house...throw my clothes straight in the washer...and scrub until I at least have to *try* to smell it on me. Even then, I'm weird about sitting on the couch.
