Default RE: What percent of "success" is determined by "Location"

All depends on what you consider a "successfull or prolific hunter".

What if I specifically picked out a certain 4.5 year old doe that I wanted to kill. I scouted this one particular doe for 2 years and planned my attack for the upcoming season in October. Then I grabbed my loin cloth and spear and headed to the woods. I rolled myself in mud and cow manure for scent control and climbed a tree. I stood on top of a big limb and predicted the time the doe would come under me to the minute. When she arrived I jumped down with my spear tarzan style stabbed her. She drags me around for 500 yards through the woods and thickets untill she finally expires. Successful hunter?

or
(not that this is that easy, but to make my point)
A hunter in Illinois has several mature bucks running around his/her private non pressured property. After hundreds of pictures from his trail cam he has determined the exact time he needs to be in his summit viper treestand to kill one of 12 140" bucks he has caught on film. He slips into his enigma camo and grabs his pack with all the modern gear. Up he goes with his bowtech guardian. Just as planned a mature buck comes down the trail and he rips an arrow at 300fpsthrough the heart. The buck drops on sight. It scores 142"'s!!!

Who's the more successfull hunter?
