RE: Superstision?
When I leave camp in the morning we put our hands to our heads, at the thumbs. With one hand our fingers face up and the other facing down........ means wait for a gnarly one. I also pick the arrow that I'm going to use way B4 the season starts, and yes all the cock vanes facing out.

Ok, I can understand about everything except maybe the deerpee....
But do you guys do anything after you had a succesfull kill ?
I would say thank you to which ever god that it is you pray to and thank the deer for giving up his life......

RE: Superstition
I know some people tie the deer's sack to a branch or something. I usually just throw it at my brother and tell him its good luck to be hit by nuts in the face.
Oh and we dont shoot cats, thier just bad luck to kill.

RE: Superstition
Pretty good stuff, I also Gargle with Skunk in rut before i leave in the morning, rather refreshing, I do like to pick my arrow WAY before the season and make sure i dont beat it up or anything, it stays in my bedroom till i shoot it to make sure it flies the same, Other Than that, i have undies and socks i HAVE to wear if not it puts a hoax on the whole season.

We always tap the Ted Nugent "Give 'em the BLADE!!" sticker on the lockers adjacent to the cabin door on our way out. Have been known to drive back and tap it after forgetting.
After the kill I always put a small cedar branch in the deer's mouth and offer thanks to God for the life of the animal that will now give life to me and my family. ( I think I read that in an old Fred Bear book, it comes from an old German deer hunting tradition. I thought it was cool so I adopted it myself.)
