I always take a Knife my dad made. it's a cheap little paring knife from the grocery store that he took the wood handle off and inserted the blade into a antler.. then made a leather sheath. It ALWAYS goes with me, I must have been 15 when he started making them, I got mine before anyone else other then himself.. Now that he has past I will never hunt without it.. at 25 years old it has seen better days.. he is the one who taught me to hunt and instilled that fact that hunting is more then killing game.. And for that i I am truley indebted..

I just want to know how many superstitious hunters are out there? A few years ago I had a friend of mine give me a Canadian coin which has a Moose on one side of the coin. Not a deer but close enough. When I'm sitting in my stand and start getting frustrated because I haven't seen anything move all day I start rubbing my coin and all of a sudden I start seeing deer. Maybe its just coincedence? Or I'd like to think that my coin is bringing me good luck. Do you hunters bring good luck charms with when you go into the woods on opening morning? I'd like to know.

I have had a couple nice bucks come when I had toilet paper in hand and looking for a spot to squat. Got them both, and I shot one while taking a leak once. Don't know if he died from the wound or the shock of seeing a heavily armed man with his junk hanging out. He may have thought far worse things were about to happen than being shot!
