Default RE: Luck and Hunting

There just isn't any such thing as luck.

Is the hunter lucky or is the deer unlucky?

What was the lucky thing that "let you" get a deer. That your vehicle actually started, that you didn't get into an accident on the way, that you didn't fall from your stand, that your gun actually went off, your bowstring didn't break? All these things CAN happen, but we discount all these possibilities because they don't happen often.

Boils down to percentages. The odds for rolling snake eyes is 1 in 36. The odds for rolling a 7 are what, 1 in 12? Makes no difference who rolls the dice.

Luck is a superstition.
