For someone to say that them killing big deer has nothing to do with luck.... GET OVER YOURSELF. Last season i shot a 170 class buck... I was lucky. I put my buddy on that stand for 3 days, and he saw only one buck and that was a 3 1/2 year old 10 pointer at over 100 yards in a field. He didn't want to hunt the spot the following day so I did, shot the buck 5 minutes after daylight. Was it not luck that that buck walked by that mourning and not the mourning before, yes its luck. I do beleive in improving your luck (Stand placement, shot placement, concealment, getting in and out without spooking game...), but there is still lots of luck involved.
