RE: Buck Fever
Good story, yeah I still get it but like you am old enough to control it somewhat. I have a habit of talkingdeer into my scope (c'mon baby another step, you keep a comin') I nowget theshakes afterwards.I have to sit before I gut... I stood beside a fellow I was taking on a hunt and watched him unload a lever action gun at a deer and never fire a shot. I was so amazed I could not even get a shot and then started laughing so hard could'nt shoot at it period! He looked at me and said he had missed!! He still gets goofy when a deer goes by...........
Had a first year hunter with me who raised his arms in position but forgot the gun, second deer of the day he was squeezing w/ the safety on!!
Night before brings guys to their knees as well, throwing up, no sleep going into the woods w/out bullets , forgetting lunches.......... That is what makes hunting and camp life so much fun. If you don't get thrilled and all wrapped up at the site of your quarry anymore , QUIT! because the fun has gone out of it!! Good thread here Cayugad, should be funny!
