By doing your homework, study the game, work on strategy, woodsman ship.. I believe they all increase your chances (Luck) of harvesting game...

Luck Or Skill

I.will take luck any day over skill , it's luck w/ most bucks walk by you, it's luck your looking that way at the right time , it's luck when you do get the shot and then all that skill you have , come's in to play , shot placement and tracking skills ???
luck 90 % skill 10 % good luck w/t

We had a Dr. put in writing on one of my wifes medical reports that he had inspected her galbladder and it appeared to be fine. : The problem with that statement "in writing" is that my wife had her galbladder surgically removed some 10+ years ago. SHE DOESN'T HAVE ONE : :speechles SERIOUSLY!

Ouch! I hope you pointed this out to said "doctor"! And I use that term very loosely!

Knowing when to go, how to get there, and where to go is not always easy. However dumb luck is all part of it.I would say it is 50/50. If a deer walks by your stand at 20 yards consistanly i would say that is skill but if he comes out at any beyond 50 from time to time i would say that is luck. Some would say move your stand but i always try to remember MURPHYS LAW.....

If you become as comfortable and a part of the outdoors as the animals that live there, finding them is no problem. I dont know many weekend hunters that can get that comfortable.
