Skill is finding where the deer are using the trails,feeding and bedding areas and where the deer have been and likely to be. Luck is if they come by or are there when you are. More deer are take each year by hunters going and coming to thier stands or blinds than any other method. I have killed 30 (at least) that have just been standing there waiting on me when I rounded a corner or looked up from a set of tracks. These I didn't expect to be there, they just were. Lucky for me.
