Hang the nuts of every buck I kill on a tree and yell ya-hoo!!!
I take a photo of almost everything. Especially first hunts or special occasions like fishing trips with old friends I don't see as much. Then I put them in an album and document as much as possible. I put down date, age, weapon used, stand hunted, time of shot, distance, weather and the specifics of the game(# of points, weight, # of animals taken, species). It helps clarify some of the memories from getting intertwined as time passes. And it is sentimental to flip through it at the beginning of each season to put everything in perspective. You would be surprised how the conditions surrounding a picture of a spike you shot at age 13 make it more prized than the 12 pointer you shot last year.

sorry, didn't mean to double post.

Maybe I'm an old fart, but I have more respect for the game I take than is indicated in some of the posts. I have no set rituals, but like jscottevans, I photograph everything that might be memorable and I keep a very detailed journal of my outdoor activities. I do frequently find myself on my knees beside a fine turkey gobbler or big buck, but that isn't an unfamiliar position for me.
I photograph everything I kill, and respect it by using everything possible from the game I hunt.
it doesnt matter if im fishing or hunting i just respect the animal hunting there is no catch and release so i give the deer alittle pat on the head tell it thank you but most important is to thank god for chance to even be out there
While in Germany, to be able to hunt you must join a Hunting Club and the rituals and the rights of passage is pretty much of an ordeal to go through. At the time of the kill, you place a blades of grass in the mouth of the deer as it's last super in respect among other things one must do. Hunter ethics here is at its max!

That wasn't a double post, that was a "HANG FIRE!" LOL!
I also hunted in Germany and do many of the same things.
I always try to make a quick human kill and not waste any of the animal.
Other than that you won't see me kissing anything but a pretty redheaded lady.
i just eat it.wouldn't call it a ritual though.
Moishe, You crack me up :) LMAO!!!
I don't have a ritual, I just take pictures of fish that I caught!!!
