"GregH" hit the nail on the head! He is exactly right. I forget where,but I read an article recently which talked about "Buck Fever", and how even the most seasoned of hunters still have problems dealing with this nerve ratteling feeling. It went on to mention that by spending more time around deer, the better off and more comfortable you'll be when you're ready to harvest one. Whether your in your stand scouting, glassing, or just driving around, the morevisual contact youhave with deer, the moreconfident you will be come season. Good luck and happy hunting!
