First I would say its a good area. But mainly I would say skill and time put in on th estand

RE: Is It luck
 

It simply means the person has made a pact with the devil, sold his soul in exchange for yearly big buck kills. Shame on that person!

RE: Is It luck
 

My dad must of sold his sole somewhere along the way. In the last 9 years hes killed7 p&y deer and one (gross) booner.

Healso takes around 30-40 days off per season during hunting season so hehas plenty of time to find the deer so...

RE: Is It luck
 

i would say a little of both. A good hunting spot is also key;)

10% luck
20% skill
15% concentrated power of will
5% pleasure
and
50% pain.

RE: Is It luck
 

Discipline, Skill, Work and obviously an area that holds at least one good buck every season. The more big bucks the more ones odds are raised.

I know this..... in the forest covered mountains I hunt whitetails in,to do it year in and out with a bow, luck wont get you very far.

RE: Is It luck
 

It can be a combination of skill and luck.

You don't HAVE to know what you're doing to take a good buck from your area.....but it sure makes it easier.;)

If someones luck is that consistantly good he needs to go to Vegas. Its skill to get it done year after year.

RE: Is It luck
 

As soon as the word consistently is used the word luck go's out the window!

RE: Is It luck
 

100% reason to remember the name.

RE: Is It luck
 

Remember that call I was talking about!?

RE: Is It luck
 

From personal experience. The more skilled I became the luckier I got.

RE: Is It luck
 

Location and timing are also very important...

I've got a friend that has hunted with me the past 2 years...Last year, I put him on one of our stands that is known to produce good bucks the first 2 weeks in November...

This was the 9th of November...Within 30 minutes, he killed a nice 11 pointer with an 18 inch inside spread...This year, I put him on the same stand on the 3rd of November, he killed an 8 point with a 19 inch inside spread, again within 30 minutes...:D

Now, this guy had only killed 3-4 deer in his life before that...Certainly he did good because he closed the deal...But he was in the right location at the right time...We've owned this farm since 1976, so we have a pretty good history of what can happen when the time isright...

I voted more skill then luck. I've got some good buddy's of mine that hunt some prime whitetail grounds. Were talking booners in some of these areas. They don't have a clue on what there doing. Never have any of these friends of mine saw a buck bigger then 130" while bow hunting In all the years they've been hunting these spots. Every year they find a shed or two scoring anywhere from 60" to 80". This summer my buddy had a 170"+ targeted all summer on his trail cam damn near at the same time every 2 days. He also had 3 to 4 130" to 140" bucks on cam. He never saw any of these bucks. Why didn't he? He put allot of time In but he doesn't have a clue on what he's doing.

How could someone get luckyEVERY year?

RE: Is It luck
 

More skill than luck.

I see big deer every year. Ok, i don't shoot big deer every year, but i manage to get them into bow range... Needless to say i am getting better though. My luck is the worst ever and i still shoot deer.

The best way is to not get married.[8D]

RE: Is It luck
 

i chose neither, its about management, being able to afford to control everything by spending lots of money and time, and plotting a good spot

RE: Is It luck
 

That is a great quote.:)

RE: Is It luck
 

I say both.. I have a young cousin that hunts his heart out. He don't have much experience and has been hunting for maybe 4 or 5 years. But in that time he has legally taken something like6 or7 p&y bucks.

RE: Is It luck
 

Wow!! That's Incredible!! He's has to be doing something right. My hats off to him.

RE: Is It luck
 

I voted luck.

Even if you know everything about a deer. Where he will come, what time he will come by, how many times he comes through each day. The day(s) that you are in the stand, you never know if he will come or not. ITS ALL LUCK. IMO

RE: Is It luck
 

OMG lol. ^^^^


100% right place, right time.

RE: Is It luck
 

It's the pusher fan. Unfair advantage. ;)

RE: Is It luck
 

A small% of bowhunters fill their tags in any given state each season, Its an even smaller % of bowhunters that fill their tags onGood Bucks for their area every season, you can call it luck if you want, But I think is a little deeper than that.
