I'm not to worried about jinxing myself. While I love to deer hunt. I am best known for my turkey calling ability. Usually if there is a bird within hearing distance i can get him close enough to see. Plus I like to study everything i can about the birds before i go to the field. natural behaviour, and sometimes i will even just sit and listen to their vocabulary.
I am the student and my game is the teacher.
Thats my philosophy.
