6. The Curse of the Empty Shell
If you fire a shot and leave the spent shell casing behind… you’re inviting misfortune.
Some hunters believe empty shells ‘hold’ energy from the kill.
If you don’t pick them up? You’re leaving your luck behind.
Many hunters report their worst hunts happened after they forgot to collect their casings.
One old hunter in Alabama claimed he never left a casing behind—until once, in a hurry, he forgot. The next three times he went hunting? He didn’t see a single animal.
Now? He never leaves without picking up every last shell.
