Last Breath Huntcast

HUNTROVERSY! Luck...that is a word that is fairly commonly used among whitetail hunters to put down another. My guest, Garrett Feik, and I talk about what percentage of luck vs. skill it takes to kill a whitetail buck. After that, we talk about instances in which we both have felt lucky while hunting, and also what instances skill has come into play. The big question of the day is...would you rather be lucky...or skilled?
