abear491 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Does anybody have any pre hunt rituals or are superstituous? I am very superstituous for example if I kill a deer that day I eat the same thing before the next time I go out. I always try to keep the luck on my side. Just wondering if anybody else does the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OHBucks Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 Hahaha yeah usually my dad and I go to dinner and have a couple beers to calm the excitement. Our season opens up Sat. morning so we are headed down to the hotel friday after work. So this year we will probably get some dinner and have a couple beers because usually I don't get much sleep the night before opening morning. It's like Christmas for me.

TN Bucknasty Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I have a Winchester cap that I've worn on every single hunting trip since I was 16 years old. Every time I kill a deer, I put a tally mark in black on the inside. I put a blue one for turkeys. I figure by next year, I'll have 100 deer and 50 turkeys. Whenever I get to that point, I'm going to have it bronze dipped for my kid to pass on. Then I'll start working on another one. I also have one for fishing where I mark bass over 5lbs and catfish over 10lbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dakota Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I've got a lucky orange hunting jacket that I've worn since I started big game hunting in '03. Here are a few critters that have fallen victim to the jacket over the years. Doubled on this doe with a buddy of mine in the Fall of '08. Fall '09 Here, you can see it under the camo coat given to me by our very own Steve B. First goat. Fall '07 Goat Opener '08 double. It's very lucky for me...

Ethan Givan Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I have a Winchester cap that I've worn on every single hunting trip since I was 16 years old.

Whenever I get to that point, I'm going to have it bronze dipped for my kid to pass on. Then I'll start working on another one. I also have one for fishing where I mark bass over 5lbs and catfish over 10lbs. Im doing something similiar to this. I have a University of Kentucky cap that is camoflauge. I got it last year and this spring I went to the NWTF national convention and I got the cap signed by Eddie Salter, who is a Hunter's Specialties pro-staffer. Well turkey season came and I wore that cap on opening morning, and wouldnt you know I killed my 2nd biggest turkey ever . So now that is my official lucky hunting hat. Im putting dots on the inside for every turkey and deer kill as well. Unlike TN Bucknasty, Im just getting started with mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

huntnfish Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I try not to get into that stuff too much but I do have an old Advantage Timber camo t-shirt that I have wore on most of my successful hunts. I have had success without it but I am alittle more optimistic every time I wear it during a hunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abear491 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 I'll take luck anyday of the week. Luck is better than skill. Sometimes you need luck sometimes you don't. But when things are bad you will sure wish you have some luck. Also being superstitous isn't a bad thing, stand placement and all that is good agreed but being superstitous never hurt. Ask any baseball they all got them, since i am a former player i am superstitous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swampwright Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 Not Really For luck but i carry an old pocket watch my grandpa gave me after my first deer kill. More of a remember where i came from thing, and him teaching me so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 27, 2010 Report Share Posted September 27, 2010 But when things are bad you will sure wish you have some luck. And on the other side of that when things are good you'd better hope you have some skills. My ritual is doing 5 laps around the pool, dry off, orange juice and toasted egg sandwich, kiss my wonderful wife Juliette Huddy for filling the thermos, jump in the Suburban, wake up and go hunting.....:paint: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
