What brings you luck?

If it doesn't work. You have to build an alter to HuntTalkMan. And ask him for his help. This not praying to a false God. HuntTalkMan is the Patron Saint of Hunt Talk. He's the kinda like the Uncle everyone loves, but your mother doesn't want you around for fear of what he may teach you. Anyway the ritual.

The lucky item must be placed in an area where it is plainly visible to everyone. YOU must then put on a pair of fairy wings (more glitter the bettet) wearing your boxers and a unicorn horn. Then you have to build a small fire and hop around it on one foot then the other, this will come naturally as you will be barefoot and this must be done on the coldest night possible. While hopping around you gotta chant. "RIGHT IN THE FUGGIN HEAD!!
IF this doesn't work maybe run to the dollar store and get a rabbit's foot.
OK, who the heck is HuntTalkMan?
 
I had that same hat for many years but after too many years of outdoor activities it is no longer with me.


Some people might call it superstition. Some people call it lucky. Some people just value the sentiment. But I know lots of hunters who have some “thing” they carry in the field for no practical reason, other than it gives them a feeling of connection, or confidence, or luck. What items do you have that give you that little mental boost when you have it with you in the field?

Mine is a disgusting old hat. I’ve had this thing for like 20 years. It’s faded, blood-stained, sweat-stained, and kind of smelly honestly. Nothing really special about it, other than it’s in many, many of my grip and grins. If I’m traveling to hunt, this one always gets packed. And if I’m struggling on a hunt, I always grab this one unless it’s completely impractical for the conditions. I don’t really know why.

Every year prior to hunting season my daughter picks out a “lucky sticker” from some crafting book of whatever that I stick on the stock of my rifle or limb of my bow. They eventually wear off but there’s several still on my rifle, I’ll get a picture sometime.
 
I know only what brings me bad luck. It cannot be spoken of. The ****** Curse.
Might I suggest the ritual described to CMF88. I failed to mention that this ritual must be recorded and posted on the forum.
