Title: Removing a Jinx!!!
Post by: wisconsinteacher on May 21, 2015, 03:35:53 PM
I inherited a very nice Browning BPS from my late father-in-law with high hopes of getting a bird with it.  After my first season of drawing a blank, I grabbed my old 870 and filled 2 tags in 2 days.  I have one tag left and I am determined to get a bird with this gun.  I think the darn thing is jinxed and needs a kill to get rid of it.  Any tips to get rid of a jinx?

There is no such thing as a jinx. Just keep hunting with it.  :)

Maybe it is jinxed, probably cant kill turkeys.  Go ahead and send it to me, if it starts killing turkeys you can probably have it back..   ;) :lol:

Get back after them man, you'll get one soon enough.  :anim_25:

Find a hot gobbler, set up close and don't let the hens steal him first.  Piece of cake! :goofball:

I'm superstitious as well. I felt I had some bad Juju with some archery gear years ago. I got rid of it. Confidence is everything in your weapon.

no jinx's. if its meant to happen , it will. when you start thinking that was , you only hurt your confidence. your mind is a powerful determining factor.

There's no such thing as a jinxed BPS! As for some other gear...the verdict is still out. If my season doesn't shape up soon I might have to try the stripping naked thing.

The jinx is real.  Save the gun for upland birds....or send it to me.  :)

After taking a gobbler the first Illinois season with my Remington 12 gauge 870, I took my Remington 1889 12 gauge hammer double barrel the next season with no luck. Determined to get a bird with it, I took it again the final Illinois season and drew a blank the first day. I was starting to get concerned as this was the last season and the 870 had a much greater range, out to 50 yards while the 1889 would function out to 30 yards maximum because of having to shoot reduced handloads. The next day I once again took the hammer double barrel and before 6 a.m. I had a gobbler on the ground with 1 1/2" spurs, the only one in the past 25+ years of turkey hunting that I've managed to bag with 1 1/2" spurs. Hang in there. The opportunity will present itself and you'll be glad that you had patience.
