i think that if it makes you a better hunter to carry a "charm", go for it, but i don't believe that the "charm" has anything to do with it. all good things come from the Lord is what i believe. that said, i still carry a buck-eye in my pocket when deer hunting, because my grandfather told me as a kid that you couldn't kill a buck with out one. do i believe it helps--not with the hunting, but i'm reminded of my grandfather whenever i see or touch the buck-eye, and that alone is reason enough to carry one.
