After field dressing the deer, does anyone else, place the buck's private area up in the crotch of a tree for good luck?
I don't do that myself but several of my hunting buddies do. I always wondered but never thought to ask.

As for me....I eat 'em. The animal that is, not the private area. I always believe that if you eat a little deer meat prior to the hunt then you are more likely to see deer.

Call me superstitious.

Ok, you're superstitious.

The only symbolic thing that I do is to thank God for his blessings.
Amen, me too.

Cant do it in NY. You have to leave proof of sex on the deer.
And the antlers wouldn't qualify for this?
I agree...hang em on the antlers.

I think its funny you are all talkin about this. Ithappenedon accident to methen it eventually turned into a ritual. I was field dressing the buck then i just threw the private parts and they stuck in a branchand my buddy and i thought it was funny. So now everytime i shoot a buck i do it. I thought i was the only one.

I usually just cut out the liver and take a big bite out of it, then smear some blood on my face in some kind of a war paint theme. I get strange looks from the neighbors but it brings me luck.

Same in Florida. Thinking about maybe nailing the tail to a limb like misteltoe though.

I used to hunt with an uncle of mine who always performed this ritual. I have done it myself on occasion...
