I have been hunting deer for fifty five years. I hasn't gotten a lot better. I don't shake, but I can feel my pulse speed up and I have a hard time to keep from shooting to fast. Not to much with gun hunting. But I want to rush my shot bowhunting. Afraid he is going to bolt. When I am bow hunting I can feel my pulse speed up even when does come in.
We were mule deer hunting one time. I had shot my deer. We were walking cross country back to the pickup. We walked by a little brush spot about twenty feet in diameter. A real big four by four mulie ran out at about ten yards. He emptied his 30-06 into the ground ten feet in front of us. Like the rest are saying, when I quit getting excited it is time to quit.
