My first deer was a 7 point. I shot it at 3 yards with a .50 cal muzzleloader. I was 12 years old. I was so excited because I had shot at other deer and missed due to buck fever. After that day though I have yet to get buck fever before the shot. Know it comes after the shot. Cant explain it but yeh the shaking and nerves come after I know I made a great shot.
