Default RE: Do you get nervous???

I used to get a bit "excited" when I had deer approaching me, especially if I knew that I was going to take a shot. Then something switched. Now, when a deer approaches that I'm going to shoot, I go into a sort of slow motion mode where I'm very calm and calculating. Once the shot is made the excitement builds up rapidly. Sometimes it is so great that I don't remember climbing down my tree. This lasts all the way through tracking the deer and examining it and during the walk back to my truck when going for help to get it out of the woods.

To some degree, I get this feeling of excitement for all game that I take. It seems to be a feeling that I live for! [:-]
