I do have to give alot of credit to "Lucky" Carter and Warren Womack. I've learned a great deal from them both over the last few years, and they've certainly influenced the way I hunt.
The area around here has a fairly low deer density, estimated at <15 per sq. mile. Like RC said, I've hunted hard, and that's been the key. Here's some of my season stats to this point.
So far I've made 63 hunts for deer. That's 63 individual climbs where I've spent at least one hour on stand. I usually average about 3 hours per sit, so that's roughly 180+ hours up a tree. In all that time, I've seen exactly 63 deer. Of those 63, I've had shots at 11 of them, and managed to connect on all but one.
I'm just blessed to be able to hunt a good bit, and fortunate to have capitalized on most of my opportunities.
