RE: Luck and Hunting
 

I use the same saying. I'll look up the name of the guy who said it the first time I heard it.

I also use the same approach as cardeer and slugman. Modern Gun two years in a row deer appear moments after my prayer. 16" spread 8 pt year one. 24 1/2 " spread 10 pt year two.
The place you hunt, and the time you hunt [rut] doesn't hurt either. The first time you rode a bike without training wheels successfully wasn't due to luck. Your persistence was most likely preceeded with failure. Often times when we hunt it is ourselves we must find first. And it doesn't hurt to be persistent and patient.
