RE: tips for avoiding buck fever
I am a mess once the deer comes into range. If I tell myself to settle down and think about what I'm doing, I can control it until after the shot. Then it starts all over again. After I killed my first big buck with a bow I sat in my stand for 10 mintues even though I knew the buck was down 50 yards away.
If I lose this feeling, I don't think I will want to hunt anymore.
