Work or luck?

True that to really be successful a hunter has to be out in the woods and the fields year round to know where the deer are and what their habits and tendencies are. But once deer season starts, and you pick the spot to sit there and wait, luck plays a part in what strolls past you.

Meh, never could sit still long enough to play the tree stand game. I’m always out “still hunting”. Slowly walking through the forest, looking for tracks, scat & other sign. It’s only been since I’ve been up here in Hayward (since last summer) that I’ve ever been able to scout a location in advance. Working a field of corn or the edge of a wood line is far more enjoyable than sitting on my duff hoping bambi walks by.
