RE: PREACHER TONY CALLING
I think it's a great idea, but in all honesty, I'm talking to GOD the whole time I'm out. But I never ask GOD to bless me with a big buck or anything, I just ponder the meaning of life, reflect on things I've done and how to do them better next time, and probably confess a bit as well, but I've NEVER asked him to send me a big deer, because I think if he wants one to come by, I'll be blessed with one.

RE: PREACHER TONY CALLING
Really nice thought, Peak....
When I lived in Charleston, SC......they had a day there, prior to the shrimping season,when the shrimp boats would parade through the harbor (decorated for the event). There was a festival @ Patriot's point where everyone would gather for the "Blessing of the Fleet". As each shrimp boat came by.....the priests/rabbi's/etc... would indifidually"Bless" each boat,their season and their safe return to harbor, each day.
Everyyear some of those guys don't come home to their families. It's a tough living.
That day was a pretty magical day
. Your suggestion is a great one.

Doug, much the same here, and when game presents the opportunity, I always throw in a "If it be your will that this animal be mine, please guide the arrow that the end should be as quick and painless as possible."

RE: PREACHER TONY CALLING
It would be a fine gesture, and much appriciated. I might have my disagreements around here with some folks, but I would never want to see anybody injured in persuit of their favorite whitetail. Prayers are good.
You got that right Chief 
! Wouldn't be the same without that, that's for sure.
AF Hunter,... I don't want to have my buck fever cured, so let's have him leave that part out.

You know Mark, I don't even go that far, I just go with it if it feel right, and after the fact, I look up and thank him for letting it all come together for me. I feel like I'm not being "gracious" if I ask for things from him. Just me, I try not to ask anyone for anything if I don't NEED it, and I suppose, I carry that on even with God. Not saying there's anything wrong with asking him to guide your arrow, it's just not me.
