I get buck fever - like some of you said, it's much worse when bow hunting and the deer is walking under your stand 15 yards away. When they're that close, it's really hard to control the shakes. I've gotten better with time, though - when I first started hunting it was terrible.

My first deer was with a Winchester 1200 shotgun- had to be plugged to only hold 3 shells. So I was sitting on a log overlooking a creek bed, and a doe comes down the hill through the thorn bushes. I'm shaking like crazy, but manage to wait until she gets within 40 yards and turns broadside - I let 3 shots fly- fast enough to sound like a 3 round burst from an M-16. Missed all 3! I only had 2 more shells in my pocket, I quick load one in and the doe is still standing there looking around like "what the hell was that?" I shoot again, to no visible effect (though I did hit it with that one in the ribcage). I quick load my last shell and shoot again - hitting it in the spine and dropping it. I was shaking like I was having a seizure
