Luck or Skill
 

last night was the worst hunt ever, tornado warnings, huge winds,i missed the second biggest deer of my life!!! not once but twice!!! the first time at 25 yards, then 45 yardsbut i was just wondering what everyone thinks about whether bowhunting has alot to do with luck or is it skill?? i think for myself that whenever i get a big deer its pure luck, yes i may be a skilled shooter,but i was lucky that day, because the deer crossed my path.

RE: Luck or Skill
 

Majority of bowhunting is skill.

you can have all the luck in the world but wont go no where without skill.

Wow this could be my best thing i ever said.

Its a happy medium. I always believe that you create your own luck. You use your skills of scouting, your knoledge of the animal your hunting, and how to successfully draw on a deer without spooking it, in hopes that you get lucky and that big one your after will come by.

RE: Luck or Skill
 

Both are involved and I'll take both but for your particular hunt, doesn't sound too lucky...;)

RE: Luck or Skill
 

They both play a role in bowhunting.

bow hunting has a lot to do with skill but a little luck don't hurt

How does that saying go? "I would rather be lucky than good". Unfortunately I am neither
