RE: need advice on controling nerves
I have found that just waiting and calming down works for me, if the animal will allow this that is. I have had buckssurprise meand I am so shaky I would not even come close to hitting them if I shot right away. So I wait and after a few secondsmy nerves began to settle and I can usually make the shot. I had a 160 class buck step out and it took me about five minutes to gather myself and shoot. If I wouldnt have done that I probably would have shot over him by about ten feet.
