RE: When did you know you were hooked for life?
Ill get the video of how bad I was shakin this fall when I had a deflection on a small 1.5yo 8 this year...he pushed a doe directly under my stand, the arrow deflected by 2-3 feet ona 15 yard shot...I was RATTLED. it wasnt the buck either, I had passed him 1-2 times before and 3 times since...I just thought it felt right on THAT hunt, glad it worked out the way it did now looking back.
My buddy who was filming said probably 20 times, "Trevor your seriously going to have to stop shaking man..your goin to fall out of the dam tree!" I watched the footage later, HILARIOUS. Ill post it up for you guys to get some good jabs in on me when I get my hands on that tape, it is too funny. I shook for probably 20+ minutes.
