Deer Hunters Prayer 1
Dear lord,
To you I pray,
As I set off into the woods this day,
Bless my life and help me to be successful,
Look over me and always be blissful.
Heavenly Father, Grant me the wisdom to overcome all obstacles,
And protect me from those things which I have no control of,
May harvesting a deer be quick and true,
With respect for the animal, with guidance by you,
Keep close lord as I hunt today,
And look over me to keep me safe,
There is no greater god than you,
This hunting season is the proof.”
Amen.

Heavenly father,
To you I pray,
A majestic deer may come my way.
Let my aim be straight and true,
this my Lord, I pray to you.
A swift clean kill is what I ask,
Take his spirit swift and fast.
For his last breath should not be,
One of pain or agony.
Let his soul,
Come to Thee,
To roam your heavens,
Wild and free.
Amen.

Lord,
May I make an honest count of game, respecting the legal limits of game in order to preserve the balance of life and death among the animals.

May I also listen to my friends’ stories with enjoyment and without envy.
Amen.
Deer Hunters Prayer 5
Lord,
I am so blessed to be able to hunt and I appreciate the blessings You have bestowed upon me. Yet I know that so many others are in great need. Give me the grace to share the food of the hunt not only with my family and friends but also with those who have greater need: the hungry and the poor. May my sharing with them be one small part of my continuing care for your poor. As they ask You, Father, for their daily bread, use me as one small instrument to help provide it to them.
Amen.
Deer Hunters Prayer 6
Lord,
You spoke to St. Hubert and converted him to You during a stag hunt. You changed him into a hunter of souls, yet you continued to use his skills as a hunter to open minds to your Gospel. I ask that you make me into a hunter of souls above all other hunting activities. May I look for the opportunities to speak of You and Your salvation. Let the hunting camp itself be a place that uplifts the soul. May my time alone be an opportunity to pray and listen to You. May all the actions of the rest of my life be a constant hunt for You, for the opportunities you give me to evangelize, and to target the souls most in need of Your love.
Amen.
Deer Hunters Prayer 7
Lord,
I pray that I may take down the game in as painless a way as possible. May I recognize my limits and take the shots I know I can make, not taking a shot that risks maiming or wounding an animal unnecessarily.
Amen.
