My brother gave me a Buckeye Nut 30 years ago, I carried it for a few years. 8 years ago my friend in Ohio gave me one while we were hunting his place. I found some last year when we were hunting in Kentucky.. I gave them to my hunting Buddy's. My brother told me it was good luck to be given one..

A rubber chicken....

Robertfishes....from what I have always heard, for a buckeye to be "lucky" it has to be given to you by someone else. I ALWAYS have a "lucky" buckeye in my pocket...doesn't mater if I'm going hunting or to work or to WalMart. I figure a little extra luck can never hurt.

Pdk25,
Lip balm...
In a bar in Alaska and my lips were cracked bloody and hurtin. I noticed all the natives had no problems so I inquired. A local took me out to his dog team and he said "this is what we do". He lifted the tail of a dog swiped his finger down there then rubbed his lips.
"My goodness that is just disgusting", I said.
"Yep " said the native. " But you won't lick your lips".  

I've got a medicine bag as well.  In addition, I have the green jasper arrowhead my wife got me.  It's good medicine as well.

Medicine bag for me.

My dad swears up and down by carrying a Payday candy bar for deer hunting. We have other superstitions but my old man has the only item that he hasn't changed in 20 something years.

Matthew, your dad is spot on. A Payday candy bar or two is a hunting essential.

Visine eye drops and Red Man are in my pockets every time I have a bow in my hand.

My dad goes with me.  If we are lucky enough harvest something, he gets to stay in the woods which he loved and taught me to love it too!  tippit

 

Tippit and Whip,
Super cool guys.  That is really, really, great.

I have a flight glove from my time in the military that goes with me. It is the only uniform item that I have left from that time long ago, and it is for my bow hand. It is olive drab, so it works well in hunting situations.

I carry a funeral card with the 23rd psalm from a hunting buddy who died of cancer.

Tampons.

Yeah, you read it right.

1. To stop bleeding other than that for which they are designed. Think: Scary sharp broadheads and a constantly solo hunter. Now you get it.

2. To start a fire. They come in a waterproof container and weigh nothing. Not nearly as fragrant as cedar shavings (which I also carry), but very effective as tinder.

I have a lucky buckeye nresiding in the bottom of my haversack. It goes wherever I go.
I found it the morning I killed 2 does from the same stand the same morning, an hour apart.

Lucky rocks!! My daughters gave me some lucky rocks to take along on my spot and stalk black bear hunt. (They were like 4 and 6 yrs old). I killed a 465# bear on the first day of the hunt. My buddy got to day 4 and was starting to get concerned. I joking said you need to use my lucky rocks. He was desparate enough that he said I will try anything. Within 1 hr he had a 400# bear on the ground. Carry them ever since.

That's really odd because a payday is what I usually grab when havin a snack when hunting. They do make me thirsty though.
For the longest time I work a necklace that was from a deers leg bone that shattered on a shot from me. I cleaned it and scrim shawed a arrow and a deer hoof print on it and wore it with a sinue cordage.  I wore It for hunting for years n years.

A buckeye is a mineral deposit in a deers stomach correct? Or am I mistaking it for something else?

My Grandpa always carried one in his pocket also.
