Some sort of gourd on a vine. They are about the size of a pingpong ball & turn orangish-red & smell bad
Central Texas woodland
It's probably Calabazilla or Buffalo Gourd, Cucurbita foetidissima, but the leaves look more deeply cut than is typical. The plants certainly smell bad. http://www.wnmu.edu/academic/nspages/gil...
Look like a fruit of Cucumber/Gourd's family.

In India we see similar Fruit called Malabar Gourd.
