Man I love that feeling. Its Why I hunt. I enjoy the meat, am proud of the bones but love the rush when you hear that deer crash down.
I ran up one one by accident while bow hunting this year. I was on the way to the stand, rounded a lane and there he stood. Massive buck Ive been chasing for a while.
I was shaking so bad that I couldnt get my release locked onto the string. The whole time hes got me in a dead stare at 40 yards. I finally locked in and tried to pull but spooked him during the pull. I usually dont get the shakes like that. Maybee it was a combination of buck fever and anxiety knowing he had me locked in.
