Good Luck Charms

[gobbler10ga]

etc.
I found an arrowhead on a turkey hunt next thing I knew bird gobbles and comes in for the kill
made the arrowhead into a necklace

In my daypack is a chestnut I picked up the first year I ever bowhunted (28 years ago) and carried in my pocket that season for some reason.  Just haven't been able to throw it away.  Also have an elk ivory that I pulled out of a found skull on a mountain hunt one year.  
Don't know if either are "lucky", but I like having them with me.  They remind me of good times.

I have a small forked 4" long piece of Deer antler that I found in the forest one day about 15 years ago. I polised it up and made a small necklace. I wear it Deer Hunting. In my mind I believe it keeps me safe and brings me luck

I have a black silk bandana that I wear that has a few burn holes thru it from trying to sleep too close to a fire one particularly cold night.

Roger Norris gave me a 8x10 close up framed photo of Fred Bear drawing back his bow. I touch this photo before every hunt.

My uncle passed away at a young age.  He started hunting just months before he died.  The last time I spent with him he helped me trail my first bow shot deer.  When we were going through his things, I found his camo pants.....been wearing them for a lot of years.

Clear crystal quartz arrowhead, and a black arrowhead, for the yen yang effect; deer hoof from my first kill in 1965, and a new(this season's) buckeye, and a 'secret' weapon.      

And keep'em in the 'lucky' mojo deer sack...wish it had a zipper instead of a drawstring.
Then I would be a sport.   :cool:

Anybody still carry a 'special' coon bone?  :rolleyes:

[Labs4me]

I wear a dog tag once worn by a very special Labrador Retriever named Dakota. He was my dog of a lifetime and he will be with me on every hunt for the rest of my days.

[TRADITIONAL ONLY]

well my parents got the "special" coon bone in there room, they dont carry it but they got one...

i used to carry a buckeye me and dad found one day while squirrle hunting, but after two or three tears it fell apart and i aint found another one.

but i guess the one thin i have that i consider "kinda" a good luck charm is a spike antler that dad killes several years ago. i cut the tip off and made a necklace that ive worn for the pat 5 or 6 years i guess, ive only taken it off 3 or 4 times and thats only because the rope was too small or i had to work on it a little....

In the immortal words of Roy Rogers: "Nope!"

More seriously, these talisman's etc. helped primitive man feel safe. Nothing wrong with them but in my own mind it is just a sentimental item or gesture which is a good thing to have/be but we all know won't help or keep us safe or anything of that nature.

Read Ecclesiastes some time: "How does the wise man die? Same way as the fool! The evil man lives and the good man perishes..." (gist).

Of course I could be completely wrong and maybe these little found items ARE "God's little messages!" I do say a little prayer sometimes.
