i agree its more skill to know where to be and when to be there and to make a good shot and everything...but its all luck wether or not he walks by you or right on the other side of the ridge you cant see...but than again i hunt more on skill than some..i set up in natural funnels and in thickets so the other guys spook the deer to me..which is more skill than luck i think...it takes a while to find a good spot like that where the deer will feel safe moving even in the high pressured PA rifle season...i think we finally found our spot...took 3 does and a buck out of there in 2 days hunting...3 in one day..thats just this year...and we dont care much about bucks(i do but dad doesnt so i decided to take the does when i see them like he does because it dont make sense for me to wait for a buck when he dont and we sit feet apart...)so thats why we only took one buck...i know if we waited long enough we could got another one for dad....
