RE: i'd rather be lucky than good
I dont believe in luck. Oh sure, if one of my relatives drops a nice buck, ill say, "oh you lucky SOB" lol and congratulate them. but i personally believe that luck doesnt exist. its fictitious. just a matter of right place right time. yeah, some people are crappy and happen to kill a couple of great bucks. some guy that is crappy may never killed a nice buck. not luck, just a matter of being at that spot. I would rather be good if i had to pick. I dont call myself lucky. i've been branded by a few as being lucky, having shot a 140" 9 point in only my second deer season. but i worked hard for him. i learned from my mistakes i had made the day before(being caught in the wrong position). i put my hours in scouting. my blood sweat and tears go into the hunt. Going into my 4th deer sesaon with 11 deer killed, im feeling pretty darn good. im a better hunter than i have ever been. One of the greatest compliments i've ever received was after showing the pictures of my buck to the sport shop owner we're good friends with. i was walking out of the store carrying some stuff out and i heard him say to my dad, "You know, not all of that was luck." i wanna put that in gold.
Good luck yall
