Luck does play a role in hunting, but if you are wanting to consistently kill mature deer, forget about luck, work your a$$ off, and it will pay off.

Sure, I know some guys who have killed a big buck or 2 by luck, but if you took an 10yr average, it would be no quesiton who's the better hunter. I am much more impressed by the guy that has five 140' class bucks on his wall that the guy that has one 160'.

Consistency has very little to do with luck.
