This was from the 1st weekend of the 2011 bow season. My 3 1/2 year old gave me this and said good luck daddy. I keep it in my hunting bag all the time now. 
If you keep your hair short and your mouth shut, things tend to run a lot smoother.

21 years ago my daughters gave me a little plastic deer & pig for good luck. They both remain in my pack today.

I have two silver dollars I carry in my pocket all the time that I've had for about 7 years. I also have a really cool Case knife my buddy gave me as a gift several years back that I take on every hunting and fishing trip.

My wife wears a braided necklace made out of parachute cord that I made for her while being bored in the blind. We decided that would be her lucky necklace.

Well I think my lucky charm that I carry is memories... memories of hunting with my dad and other people I enjoyed hunting with over the years. Seems like when I get to going through those memories, deer always show up!
Maybe it's just that I stay in the stand longer or maybe just don't move around as much, but it seems to work so I give old huntin buddies the credit.

A body at rest tends to stay at rest. A body in motion tends to be lookin for a place to rest.

I have a medallion my son gave me when he graduated Marine Corp Boot Camp. It is from the Marine Graduation Foundation. One side says: NO NEW MARINE SHOULD STAND ALONE. Carry it every day, not just hunting
