Bottom line, if you can't exercise a little will power and suppress the feelings of excitement, you really shouldn't be hunting period... IMO...
I couldnt disagree more. I have hunted for going on 15 years and have killed several deer and i get excited each and everytime i see a deer, regardless of its a nice buck or small doe. Imagine all the young hunters out there just getting started who are attemtping to take thier first animal, you think they are going to be able to suppress their feelings of excitement, think they wont get a little buck fever? What are we supposed to say, "son, you cant go hunting because you get buck fever". Excitement is deer hunting, and you may make a bad shot or two in your life, lord knows i have, but in no way does that mean i should not be allowed to hunt. Unless someone is perfect and has ice in their veins, chances are pretty good they will rush a shot at some point in their lifetime.
