Default RE: Controlling the "Big Buck" Anxiety

Yeah Joey - I think you should be telling us how to keep from coming unraveled. I'm still waiting to connect on something really big, so I can't bring anything useful to this discussion. All I can tell ya, is - make sure your limbs clear the rails on your treestand seatbefore you pull the trigger, or you'll be one sick pup.

I get really nervous as the deer are coming in, but once I draw, everything slows down and the nerves are gone. I still do have a habit of rushing the shot though. I got burned a time or two trying to hold too long or drawing too early, so it's always in the back of my mind, and I tend to wanna take the first makeable shot, even when there's probably a better opportunity if I just hold for a few more seconds.
