that bullet's the one thing determines whether that hunt is a success or failure.
I'd say the bullet is about the least important "thing" that determines success.
It's the only connection you've got to the animal until it's dead. You can do everything else right, dance spinning on your head and saying voodoo incantations, but if the bullet doesn't perform then you go home empty handed, so yea, it is the one thing that determines whether you succeed or not.
