Default RE: Do you let deer walk on by? I don't shake as much.

I guess I spoke only about bowhunting and didn't mention gun hunting. To me gun hunting is a totally different story. I've shot most of my deer over 150yrds and I've never really gotten nervous. I guess the reason I don't get nervous is because I'm normally so far away from the deer gun hunting. When I'm sitting in an open stand 10-20 yrds from a deer and I can hear it breathing, that is when I get nervous. I videoed myself shooting a nice 10pt at 220yrds. I watched him for 2 or 3 minutes because I was waiting for him to be standing perfect since I take mostly neck shots. As soon as I pull the trigger, now THAT'S when I get to shaking!lol Knowing that I just shot a buck makes me shake like leaf. I just can't wait to get down there and see that rack.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
