I always wear one of three lucky hats when after a trophy animal. I can change out the hat only after it's run out of luck. The process to find a new lucky hat involves finding one with just the right feel, color and it must be blooded on it's first outing or it won't make the cut.
My biggest hunting superstiton was taught to me by an old timer from Rhodesia when I was just a child of 10 years or so. It is extremely bad luck to carry money, either cash or coin when actually hunting. If you are following an animal and happen to find money in your pocket you must throw it into the brush immediatley as to not curse the hunt.
This superstition is strong in my mind and it has never failed to prove itself wrong. I don't think I've ever made a kill with money in my pocket. And every time I've had a serious fu.. uh mess up I've always found an errant coin or paper money on my person.
I'm sure there's notthing to it but bygolly I'm to set in my ways to change now and I wouldn't want to piss off the hunting gods.
