Default RE: Rituals

I'm pretty superstitious, so I'm always trying to change my luck for the better.

If I get skunked one day, I always switch something up for the next hunt. For example: I'll make it a point to wear different socks, put my watch on the opposite hand, different gloves, try a different lucky hat, feed my belt through the beltloops in the opposite direction, nock a different arrow, take out the "bad luck batteries" and switch them with lucky new batteries in the walkman, park facing the opposite direction, different pieces of clothing, walkin with a different flashlight, maybe eat something different for breakfast -anything to change it up and rid myself of whatever "bad luck item" it was that caused me to get skunked the previous day.

So, if I get skunked - the next time I walk out the door to go hunting, something will be different. I know it's totally useless and stupid, but it's my way of giving myself the false hope that "Today is the Day." LOL
