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!

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...

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.

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.
