For the guy who picks up his gun/bow on the day he hunts with no scouting or prepartory work beforehand, I would say luck is greater than 75% of his hunt. For the guy who does alot of homework in the offseason, during season, and always shooting to hone his skills, I would say luck is less than 30% of his hunt. Sometimes you have to work harder at it, other times you don' t and things just seem to fall into place, for that reason I would never completly eliminate the luck factor, you always need some of it to help you out.
