RE: Big Bucks luck or skill?
95% of the people I work with (my peers) have engineering degrees. I don't. I think they might get mildly offended when I say to people that what we do isn't rocket science. It's just "not".
I think a lot of deer hunters take offense when other hunters say similar things about deer hunting. I'll put it this way......there sure must be a LOT more "skilled" people in the states that hold big bucks!
What we need to do is not take this personally. We all have friends that we KNOW work their asses off for the deer they take. We need to look at this as a "whole" and relaize that the numbers don't lie. There are huge bucks taken in big numbers every year in certain states. You can't tell me all the deer hunters taking those deer are "skilled". Let's just not make this personal.....and it's an easy answer.
It's a little of both.....but you can't kill what isn't there.
