Hunting superstitions- what's yours

[Bowwild]

I've thought about this a bit. I can't come up with something I do or believe that would qualify as a superstition. I have many things I consider crucial to increasing my chances of success but all are more techniques and gear-related.

Maybe, my strong belief in camo clothing is a superstition?

Man, you guys are Weird!    

[Bowwild]

I do need one of those Green Arrow shirts though!

[Rob W.]

I have a lucky hat that has been with me for a long time. I would take a marker and write the date and sex of the deer under the bill. The markings have faded so many times and new ones take their place each year.

I always try to kill a poisonous snake before each season.

[Red Beastmaster]

I have a Pittsburgh Penguins terrible towel draped over the doorway to my bow room. I brush my bow tip through it when I leave and return from a hunt.

[Norminator]

Hey swamp warrior , Are those short, sweet kisses, or the long slow lingering wet kind. It makes a difference!

[STUMP THUMPER]

I carry 4 arrows with me If I don't see or shoot at a deer in a cople of days change to another arrow. All arrows have to be numbered!
Lucky hat and knife.

I think some of us may have OCD,OCD,OCD,sorry,I have to say that three times for it to work  

[snag]

I try and make the most out of the opportunities that are presented to me...no luck or superstition here.

Never take a camera with you.  This started during fishing outings.  I won't even let anyone in the boat with one - haven't been skunked unless someone had a camera.  Thinking back on it, I've never killed a deer, bear or elk when I had a camera in my pack.

Found feathers are bad luck. Always wear your Bear Claw when hunting.....good mojo! Always give thanks to the animal at the kill or bad luck will follow.

I have to have the cock feathers on my arrows on the opposite side of the riser in my quiver or to the right for a right hand shooter.

[Killdeer]

Found feathers are good luck. They tell you that the birds have accepted you and will help you.
Sometimes a blue jay will lie to you, though, by leaving a feather when he really intends to rat you out at the first opportunity. They like to joke like that.

I always carry Everready, my three-blade folder. It is extra-good luck to carry your license, too.
Hey, it's time to wash and repair clothes, and get the day pack ready, isn't it!

Take a shot at the 1st legal bird w/i my effective hunting range, for it may be the only opportunity presented the whole season.

[Tajue17]

my superstition  is to make sure I  clear the bowels before I leave and don't foget my bow...

[T Lail]

I have skinned every big game animal that I have ever killed with the same knife that I got from my grandfather about 40 years ago...if I forget it, hunt is over until it arrives.

[Matthew Bolton]

i have 2 hats i wear...an nwtf ball cap for early season and my dorfman pacific hat. Also if luck is scarce i dont shave for 2 weeks. If i dont wear one of them...no deer.

[Matthew Bolton]

i also look for rabbits on the way to go hunting. see rabbits see deer.

[karrow]

i hunt with a four arrow quiver on my bow and will take the first arrow (the arrow nearest me) in my quiver and nock it. if i see lots of deer that night then ill use it the next night, if not ill switch to arrow number two the next night, and so on. ima weirdooo.
