| Haven't experienced it on rotting deer carcass level.
Cabin sits way back off closest road. Always battling rodents. Put out poison all year long responsibly. When you work your butt off across a wide area you can't always tend to every little thing on time that needs tending to. One person and even five can only do so much work on any given day. Drain pipe under one sink developed a thin spot and hole. Cabin is a long ways from closest hardware store. I didn't have a replacement drain pipe on hand. All that could be done temporarily was to place a bucket under the drain inside the lavatory cabinet to catch the water.
Well, over a period of time I started smelling something awful inside that cabin. I was away so much that it had time to really get bad. When you're dragging your feet in the mornings from being exhausted, your senses aren't sharp and neither is your brain function. Figured the source of that odor would get tracked down eventually. One day I had a little time to investigate it better. Figured out the smell was coming from inside the lavatory. When I opened the door that waft hit with a hard punch to the nostrils. I've dealt with rotten prolapsed cow uterus and this smell inside that lavatory was powerful strong. That was a first of having a gag reflex. Upon closer inspection numerous mice had fallen into the water inside that bucket and had turned into a rotten gravy with rodent hair and hides floating on top of the gravy goop. OOH LA LA!!! Just pulling that bucket out and managing to carry it outside was hard enough. That awful smell had flavored the interior of the cabin and now I had to attempt odor removal. It took a while for it to go away. Lesson learned. Didn't have an ozone machine.
At a ranch house, that is rarely lived in much further away, there was a varmint problem under it. All kinds of critters found habitat and safety from yotes under there. Problem was something must've climbed up under and possibly into the lower framing and maybe got hung up inside a wall. I endured that smell long enough to drag a sick calf inside to warm up on a tarp during an icy winter storm. Never figured out exactly what died under that house. Told one of the employees to not go inside there due to the rotten, dead smell inside.
