Default Deer hunting superstitions

Just for fun, does anyone have any superstitions when it comes to hunting? Lucky shirt, hat, camo thong?
Lets hear it!

I' ve got some old royal blue knee high socks that i have from high school baseball a couple of years ago. I began wearing them last year and it seemed like i saw deer every time i wore them. Well, opening day of bow season i could not find them..did not see nothing. Sunday me and a buddy went..he shot 2 does and i saw a couple. Hunted monday and tuesday without them.did not see anything..wednesday, i wore them and shot the biggest buck of my life. Go figure.

I always start the hunt wih a quick prayer in route to my stand.

Dear Lord, please allow me to return home safley, Amen.

That' s it. If I make it back to camp in the same condition I left, then it was a good hunt for me.

The only thing I can think of is giving my partner a fist shake. But I do have a real " ugly hat" , that I take out on occasion.

I have a cheap blaze orange ball cap that' s frayed after two years of hunting. I bagged two bucks last year and got two new " Big Game Hunter" hats for the hides. Guess which hat I' ll be wearing this fall?[:-]

I made a necklace with a piece of antler from a buck that I father shot. Now that he is gone it helps me feel close to him while hunting.....
