RE: Ritual - Do you do anything symbolic after the kill
Never got into playing with the privates, i usually just give them a toss over my shoulder. However, i was given a box of cuban cigars as a gift a few years ago- So each season i take one in my pack; along with an old Zippo my grandfather gave me. When the buck is down, before touching it or approaching it, i will just take a seat on the forest floor and light up the cigar.
