[QUOTE="Snake, post: 5539846, member: 7051"] Every hunter that is successful is doing something right or either he has a horse shoe up his hindend . All of those statements are true or not . First off a successful hunter needs to be a pretty good shot , I've been with some that has the best equipment money can buy and not be successful . Oh yeah they'll get a chance once in a while and you'll hear them blast the woods down but all they killed were a few saplings . But every once in a while they will connect. Having good equipment is not going to get you a deer but you do need to have reliable equipment. My brother was always a better shot than me during target practice but when we were hunting I was bringing home the deer . You could set here and name all sorts of seneriors related to deer hunting . Like what was said you can't kill deer where they are not ! Having a great place to hunt is better than what some call luck IMO . Land management usually helps but not in all cases , you could be fortunate to have a place that they run to after they start smelling human presence . We had a place in Giles Co. that three other hunter groups had turned down but they must not have scouted very far . Yes it looked awful , thick but had parts of what I call good woods but mostly bad . A total deer haven . Started killing some decent bucks once we started letting the younger bucks walk but like was mentioned would never be able to kill a truly great mature buck due to adjoining hunting and being 3 1/2 hours away . To the OP question thinking as others you have to have both but there are those who are just above others as far as hunting . Those that hunt the east Tennessee mountains and kill mature bucks consistently are those that are above others because it takes much more perseverance than most want to give . [/QUOTE]
