Default RE: Do you HAVE to get better?

We had a saying..."Some guys have 20 years of experience and
some guys have 1 year experience, 20 times"...
That really does ring true......

You would think that everyone would get better with more woods time.... But, that just doesn't happen.

I will use my step father and his brother as an example.....

They have 90 or so years hunting experience between the two of them and they put in a good amount of time every year..... Neither one has ever shot a mature buck bow or gun. In fact neither have ever shot a 100+ inch buck.

Both are outstanding carpenters though, well above average. Two of the best I have ever "met".

Some people just get things.... While others don't. They get carpentry, butsetting upon deer, they don't "get it".

They always tell me how lucky I am that I consistantly kill nice bucks..... It isn't luck, I don't bother to try to explain it anymore.
