Mossy Oak,

Don' t give up just yet!!! Take a break?......Maybe. Sounds like to me that you' re just havin a run of REALLY bad luck. I' ve been bowhunting for more than 10 years and have harvested my fair share of deer, elk, antelope, pig, etc. etc. etc..........even so, once I make the decision that I' m going to take the shot, whether it be buck or doe, my heart starts raising, my knees start knocking and the adrenaline kicks in. That is partly, what bowhunting is all about!!!!

Continue practicing and continue hunting. For that matter, keep reading and building your knowledge of hunting. I remember reading a few months back in one of my bowhunting magazines (not sure which one) about a gentlemen that got BUCK FEVER so bad, he too, contemplated quitting. In fact, he did quit for awhile until he found another bowhunter/friend that was able to help him correct his problem.

Whatever you decide.......the best of luck to you and welcome to the wonderful world of bowhunting.
