Pictures of your Kills/Catches

Several years ago I developed a problem or should I say Karma developed a problem for me. When ever I would catch a trophy fish or kill a trophy buck I would have someone take a picture of me with my trophy and then send them to the taxidermist to be mounted.


Out of nowhere, I started noticing that if I bragged on my hunting/fishing prowess with pictures or mounts, I could not catch a fish or even see a buck for the next two trips out. Why two, I do not know but it happened often enough to make it true in my mind. After trying and trying to figure it out, the only thing in common was the bragging so I stopped just to see if anything would change and it did! I know this really sounds weird but it seems to be true.


I catch hell from my buddies. They all scream, no pictures, it didn't happen and I feel embarrassed trying to explain something that should not happen. So, if I go on a hunt, don't expect pictures of my kills until well after the season is over and I've had a chance to shake the bad JuJu off.


Yeah, it sounds crazy I know.

I'm sure everyone has a good luck, bad luck karma issue. Mine is if I share the meat from my success, I continue to have success. The times I did not share it would take at least 4 trips to have any success again. I gladly share.

There are two things I always carry with me besides the obvious.  It is a green bandana I wear around my neck, I've had it for over 19 years, and a coin of a 10 pt buck that was given to me by an Army 2 star general who hunts with us in SD. :)  If I don't have those things, it seems like I never have good luck.  I also don't shave until I kill the first deer.  ;D ;D

Hey if that is what you think works for you then who is anyone to judge?? If it is working for you then I say keep doing what you are doing.

Roger, my wife hates it when I have facial hair.  One day this last season, she told me to shoot the first deer that came out to the feeder.  She went on to say "I don't care how small or big it is, just shoot one"  LMAO!!!!!!
