Superstitions

[dirt road ninja]

Do y'all have any?

I won't carry a camera (phone doesn't count). Not really all that superstitious, but I definitely see where one could be and I 'm not brave enough to criticize anyone else's superstitions in fear of bad mojo coming my way.

I've carried a 4-leaf clover my niece found for about 6 years now.
I killed a gobbler the day after she gave it to me.
Won't leave home without it.

I try yo bump at least two gobblers off the roost at the beginning of each season.

More than 2 shells in gun is sure doom!

That one isn't hard to do.

I wear the same old broken down camo hat.  I had to touch up the camo last year with brown and green sharpies.
It also has the American flag pin that I wore after 9-11 on it and a turkey track pin that I made.
I'm thinking about replacing this year but not sure if I want to go there.

I rotate shells each hunt.  I don't let my hat touch the ground, this goes back to being a kid and what my Dad would do and then always tell me.   I also have a breast feather from a gobbler I killed over 40 years ago facing the barrel in the butt of my dedicated turkey gun at the time.

So no!  No superstitions here.

I wear the same hat I always have.  After I load my gun the first time in the season I always put the same shells in the same order.  Every turkey feather I find as I hunt goes in my vest's game bag and a stays there until the first hunt of the next season.

Nah, I am not one of those crazies.

when I was very little I was with my grandpa when he called up and killed a good bird. he always had a pocket watch and I remember him pulling it out and checking the time when he killed that bird. he passed and left me that old watch. its with me on every turkey hunt and when I kill a bird I pull it out and look at it. it doesn't keep good time anymore but I still do it. I guess not a superstitious thing just more of feeling my grandpa is with me.
