The guy who owns the farm where I hunt has a daughter just a year younger than my son. When she started hunting about about age 10 or so, she was in a terrible hurry to take her first deer. Well, you know what can happen when you try too hard. That first season she hunted, she never got a chance at anything, and everyone else was having the usual good luck.....
The second year she hunted, she was still moping from the year before and figured out loud that she wouldn't see any deer that year either.
I happened to have about a half can of pringles on my Ranger when I saw her, and told her that they were good luck.
She took the can and went off. Killed her first deer later and to this day, still doesn't sit a stand without a can of pringles...
Thus, I guess, superstitions are born.
I smoke cigars for luck and they do work. Probably a bad idea though....................
