I fry them on the grill and eat them, its good luck for the next season Tastes like chicken! [8D]

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.

Amen, me too.

yeah same here. i've never heard of putting the privates in a tree....

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...

are groups ritual consists of. after you recover the deer,you give a nod towards the sky and lift yur cap as to say thanks. then after field dressingif its abuck you put a stripe of the blood under each eye like football players. also ppl who get there first deer we have them do the blood as well.
