RE: I am the only one with this superstition.
Thats really weird and you know that really doesn't work. I'll tell you what works well for me is I'll lay my bow/arrowsdown along with my wyoming skinning knife and my backpack and I do an indian dance around it and chant indian stuff. I really don't know what I'm saying but whatever it is I think I pissed the gods off last year.
I also carry a lucky rock in my hunting pocket every year. I think I need to find another one of those too. If anyone wants it let me know.
