I am a rookie this year to bowhunting, the first time out I got shakey knees so bad when a doe came near me. The next time out I had some small does come in on me and it was at dark. I didn't feel right taking the shot with barley any light left. But that was the best thing I could have done. I sat there for an hour watching them from about 15yrds away. Just sitting there watching them and seeing how they act, calmed my nerves down. Hope this helps.
