RE: Luck in deer hunting
I think, as said above, you make your own "luck". If you know your area, pay attention to scent, keep your eyes on the constant lookout and pay attention to the weather cues and sign in your are you can get "lucky".
That said, there are those guys who buy a new gun, have hunting clothes that smell like K-mart, and walk out an are done at 8:00 am with a 10 point.....kinda rare though.
