Hoping not to rub anyone the wrong way! I choose to believe in living for good karma and that the spirits that oversee my life are in the form spoken of by native americans and natives of other "uncivilized" peoples that never fought amonst themselves! I feel that to walk a tight line of helping others and to respect my fellow man and to ultimately walk hand in hand with mother nature, never wronging her, I will be blessed. As far as actual prayer... I feel that to live as the spirits of the natural world would live, they will see my needs without my asking and I will be treated as the spirits see fit. I hope NOT to offend others but these beliefs and philosophies have really changed my outlook on life and I feel have blessed me beyond desription. Brent

turd2di, I would venture a guess that 99% of hunters pray for that special trophy to walk by. Then again, I've prayed for ANYTHING to walk by. LOL. Brent...no problem....everyone has their own way to worship/believe/pray. That's what this great country is all about.

Being of Native American descent, I understand where hogdogs is coming from. I thank my God every day for my blessings and for the beauty of my surroundings. Many times I fervently wish to see that quarry but would never pray for anything to die.

Hey guy's, thats a great topic to have. And for my first post on this site i would have to say i might have found my best outdoors site yet! I pray everytime I go out in the feild. But not to kill something. I take my sons with me on most huntsand we pray every time for a safe and enjoyable hunt an to fully use all that God has given to us. Hunting is not about KILLING, its about freinds, nature, family, learning, teaching, and experiencing this great earth and country. Harvesting an animal is just the lagniappe! God bless all of us and I thank him for all he has given us.

i ussally don't pray for game to show, i have asked for game to appear, but i tend to feel i am being a selfish, butt.
There is the one time i got lost in my thoughts, i gave many thanx and asked if it is his will that i may harvest a deer. I think it was the way i asked, it was like he was telling me, if you going to ask , be sincere, give thanks and remember, it's not all about you, if you remember this i will grant blessings, and remember i am your creator and i take as well as give.. I shot my first P&Y that morning. since then I ask, but realize i'm just being reminded, this is not the only time to pray.
eventually i may take another trophy, but i have been given the skills and paitence to endure the wait, if it is his will.
This is more than i ussually share about myself, but i feel this is a place i can, kudos to this site and those affliated to make me feel this comfortability.

turd2di, Sorry, bud. Guess I misread alittle. I actually do both. I give thanks and pray for the good things in my life, and all things "non-hunting". Yet, not so much a prayer, but "hoping" for success is also there. I totally agree, though. Hunting is not just the shooting or killing of game.....far from it. It's the other 99% of the sport that I love.

I don't Turk. I think the best part of the day is when gods creature's are waking up and welcoming a new day.
I don't attend Church like I probably should, but I think the good lord made the woods for people like me to stop and smell the rose's and remember there is someone GREATER than us to create what I'm seeing, and I consider it a blessing that I'm able to share it with MommaLH and all my friends.

I pray everyday and some days all day since my open heart surgery and almost not making it through I pray and thank the God for another day to enjoy his beauty around me. I did pray once asking if it is his will that I would see a Buck and that year I got my first ever buck and 5 days later I got my second, not trophys but an 8 and 9 pointer. Everytime I take an animals life I thank God for his Blessing. I am also 1/4 Choctaw and believe in the spirits. Jimmy

I pray all the time- but even more when I'm in one of those situations.

I talk to the lord, but pretty much just to say thanks! Thanks for a great wife, great kids & to be able to continue to go camping hunting & fishing because I really enjoy all that he's created a great deal!
