It sounds that you have been practicing so that is one the most important things to do. Don't stop when you start hunting, keep sharp. Make sure to pick a spot on the deer when that moment of trueth presents itself. Keep your shot close. It will help with your confidence whne you make a good hit and a quick retreival. Remember not draw to early or to late. That is a hard thing to judge, even for the most seasoned hunter. That will be something to watch for when the deer come in. Make sure to breath to. Sounds funny but I know guys that lock when deer come in and they then panic and rush the shot. Look for that good broadside shot!!! Experience is the most powerful tool that will help you. If you have yearlings come in, practice drwing on them. That helps and keeps you loose. Hope this helps let me know how you make out. If you don't shoot anything, just enjoy being out there!
