Awesome feeling, isn't it!! Total adrenaline is what it is! I have learned to control the shakes over the years. Sometimes I still get them, after the shot, but they are rare.

I stuck a nice bear a couple years ago and immediately after I began shaking. I called my buddy on the radio and he met me at my stand 15 minutes later. I was a wreck...still shaking badly, teeth chattering...had to shorten my harness strap so I wouldnt fall out of the tree...seriously...best damn adrenaline rush I have ever had. I LIVE FOR THAT...I'm like a crack addict trying to recapture his original high...
