Default Need Help With " Picking A Spot"

Well I will admit it, I have been bow hunting for 22 years. But recently I have started to try hunting " larger" deer. I am being very succesful in finding them now that I am concentrating on " large" deer not just finding " any' deer.
The problem is that I am finding it hard to " pick a spot" on the larger deer. If I look away from the rack, I still have to contend with hitting a large animal that I' m not use to shooting at. Technically, I think this is called buck fever, but don' t tell anyone.
I get the buck in close, get drawn back,(usually), without being seen, put the pin on the 10 spot, then all of a sudden I cant keep the pin centered, and I loose the spot I was looking at. Then I retrive my arrow from the tree and go home and put a new broadhead on my arrow.[:@]

ANY suggestions will be appreciated, any that you think I can practice in the off season?

I have shot several deer with a bow, dont know exactly, but plenty, nothing bigger than does and 8 and 10 ptrs. on down. (Basket rack 8' s and10' s only)
