I have a lucky bowhunting hat and a camo browning sweatshirt I wear on opening day of general gun season. I'm also hesitate to buy a new bow as I don't want to lose the 'mojo' I have with my old one. I always leave my flashlight at the bottom of the tree I am climbing. If I see raccoons, I will see a buck (it happens alot too, twice this past weekend)

Whether this constitutes superstition is a matter of theological debate, but I invoke the intercession of St. Hubert, the patron saint of hunters, and often carry a St. Hubert medallion on the hunt.

we have a buck's ball sack mounted on the wall. Everyone gives it a rub on the way out the door!

I play the same song every morning in truck on my way to my hunting location

I don't recall when it began, but for as long as I can remember the first tape (now CD) played in vehicle as we pull out on a hunting trip is Arlo Guthrie's "Alice's Restaurant"
I don't rember why, but the thought of leaving without that tune on the CD player is not acceptable.
Maybe not superstition, but surely tradition.

I always carry my schrade sharp finger knife that I bought when I was 17. I got my first deer that year after 4 years of nothing, have killed multiple deer every year since and I'm almost 44, well over 100 deer killed so far. A buck every year and 1-6 does. It seems lucky anyway until I leave it stuck in a tree or on the ground where I've field dressed. Can't count how many times I've had to take long hikes to find my lost knife, but it seems like 25 or so. So it's lucky for killing deer, handy for field dressing them and great for a workout, and I'm always lucky enough to find it!
