The #1 key to my success is knowledge of the game that you are hunting and I owe a lot of what I know to the people of this board. Knowledge is key to success in anything you do in life including hunting. If you don't know how to look for sign and pattern the animals movements, it all boils down to luck. But if you can put yourself in "the right place at the right time" by scouting, you're increasing that so called "luck" by 150%.
