RE: Ritual - Do you do anything symbolic after the kill
I have not killed a deer, but I already have a ritual planned out.
After I shoot the deer, I will thank God for letting me succeed in my quest. I will then wait until it is safe to track the deer. Once I find it, I will thank God again and take several pictures. I will the field dress it and bury the organs where it died. I will also mark the placewhere the deer took its last breaths.I do not feel the need to disrespect the deer. I thought about doing the blood on the face tradition, but that is disrespectful.
