How much time one has spent out "in the boonies" has a lot to do with success. The more time spent wandering and exploring an area means learning about game trails and directions of travel. Just sitting and watching open areas from concealment at daylight and dusk is a learning experience.
Figure out feeding areas and bedding areas, and the travel paths between. Look for trails to and from water sources.
Even if you're not actually hunting, you're learning.
