id agree with 50/50 or so...you gota know where the deer live..eat...sleep..drink...ect..and their escape routes when scared...then its all about being there when they are which is luck...people will tell me both my deer i got in one day is luck...but how can it be luck? last year we seen about 8 deer there before 10 or so and this year we seen about 10 one which is now my buck i got by 915! sure being there at that time is luck but you have to know where they want to be...
