Guaranteed not to draw...

[luckless]

So I purchased an exact copy of my bow set-up on Ebay today; thereby guaranteeing I will not draw my deer or elk tags I have been so fervantly dreaming about.

Uh oh. Yesterday I was at Cabela's & bought a new pair of Mendl hiking boots.

I thought you were in Italy or some place like that?

Good luck in the draw.

Dan, that is definitely bad mojo.

Prior to the draws, you have to not even think about hunting. This way your bad luck goes to guys like doseof7mag, and kimbersig.

The best thing you can do for good luck on a hunt is to not bring a knife.

If you want to totally blow a hunt, bring a meat pack with you.

It works the same way if someone goes with you and has everything with them their bad luck rubs off on you.

Proof this year is the one time I went out by myself with nobody to help pack out my barbary I got my ram. When I had help, nothing happened or we screwed up.

Stick to fishing and home projects. Let the day sneak up on you.

I have a lucky shirt that is now supernatural in my opinion. It is in tatters, but, I wore it a couple times this year and you guessed it, I had it on when I shot my best buck ever this year.

What is some of the other superstitious stuff you guys do.

I dont do anything for the draw itself except hope and pray. However in the off chance that I do draw or find some way to go hunting I have a bobble head bull elk that rides in the truck with me. I seem to have pretty good luck when he is around and gets a pat on the head before I head out.

So nobody carried a dead frog around in their pocket or nothing like that?

Paul
We were cleaning out the basement last weekend and my wife found a complete frog skeleton behind a file cabinet. One of my sons lost his frog out of his aquarium a few years back and we could never find it. I'm suprised that thing didn't stink up the house!! Mom wasn't too happy, but the 3 boys thought it was hilarious.

Does this mean we will have good luck???????

 

[Zim]

SD, That about guarantees you a draw for sure.

carry it in your pocket for a month and that is a Bighorn tag for sure.

I super jinxed myself. Just wrote down all the hunt codes for all 6 of my picks and put it in my pocket. I checked my last successful e-mail and they just sent the code, nothing else.

 

[SDBugler]

Thanks Zim
I guess if one of us draws an ibex, sheep, elk, deer or goat tag then I can chalk it up to the dead amphibian. If we don't draw, then I can blame my wife for throwing it out a week before the draw.

Paul
I would think three years in the basement should be better luck than one month in the pocket.


I am thinking a sheep or ibex tag to go along with my colorado mountain goat and LE archery elk tags would be nice!!

Better not be jinxing the people you put in with as well...

 

[Zim]

I would keep it in your pocket as insurance. Just put it in a small zip lock sandwich bag.

 

[SDBugler]

The dead frog paid off!!!!
just got two emails form NMG&F - My son and I drew our second choice ML antelope tags for unit 50/52!!!!!

 

[SDBugler]

Yup - definitley the dead frog worked.

I also got emails for a youth ibex tag for my son and a 16D rifle elk tag for me!!!!!!!!!

So now I have to figure out how to do a NM pronghorn hunt, a CO archery elk hunt, a Colorado mountian goat hunt, a NM ibex hunt, and a NM elk hunt.

My wife is gonna kill me when I tell her the news.........
