When I got my first buck my dad and uncle just smeared the blood stripes on my face. I left them on while we dressed it, but then washed them off when we started cleaning up. It's not like I went out to eat like that, LOL. I still have the picture of me holding the rack up in the back of my uncle's truck.
My dad said back when he was young and someone got their first they did the same thing, but they would also cut the testicles off and hang them around their neck. When I got mine he said he wouldn't make me do that because he always thought it was kinda weird.
