Default RE: deer fever?!?

Hech I get excited with all of them. If I didn't I wouldn't go. But I think if you press yourself for a "kill" you'll miss out. I spent a few years without a deer and I got so I got burned out becuase I just had to get one. When I went back to enjoying the woods and the animals in it I found it much easier to deal with. And geuss what...I killed a deer pretty quickly after that. I think trying to hard sometimes can get you.

When I have them coming in I take my time...worst case you get no shot... I slowly get into position. Even if I don't plan on shooting. Its good practice. Just get ready everytime you see deer. Then if one pops up that you do want to take your already ready. I added a pic of a button buck under my treestand. I watched this buck for a long while. When I knew his head was behind something I could look around and make sure nothing else was around. Then I eased up so I could get the bow back if a big buck or nice doe showed up.


If this doesn't get you excited you should just stay home!
