Default highest excitement level before the shot?

At what point in the process does your heart beat the fastest??

hey look a deer:

you've sat countless hours in a tree and all of the sudden you see a deer. Do you say "neat a pretty deer" or "holy crap there's one!!!!!!!!!!"

whoa it's a shooter:

after seeing the deer you realize it's a nice shooter buck. Do you start to flip out at this point??

oh my God he's coming this way:

He's no longer 100 yards away. He's turned and heading right down the happy trail. Do you start to hyperventilate now?

if i can only get into position:

Now the fun part. He's within range and you're posturing for position. Any false move at this point and the games over. It's a 150 class buck below you and you need to pick the right time to get into position while he's 40 yards away and closing. Do you feel like you need to puke yet?

bow is drawn and pin on the boiler room:

The process is almost over with or is it? You have successfully drawn on this monster and have the pin where you want it. All you need to do is give yourself the green light and hit the release. Do your legs feel like jelly now??

** Actually for me and a lot of people I know, the most exhilerating moment is just after the shot and the recovery. How about leading up to the shot?
