I haven't had a dream about holding on to a buck, but have had to shoot at very close distance. Example. Imagine you take your first shot on a nice buck. Clearly a lung shot. Waite theabout 20-30 minutes and start tracking. Fortunately the buck is located, but not down yet. Line up a second shot and bang. As the smoke clears from the barrel of the gun you can see the buck running directly at you. My first thought is complete disbelief/fear. Of course keep in mind things are happening very fast. I was able to finish the job with the third shot at about ten feet. My experience is not a dream, but I sure wanted to close my eyes and hide. Sorry for getting off the subject.
