I' ve seen deer every time I' ve been out this year and my heart gets pumping for every one. When I see a buck then it really pumps! What I' ve been doing is taking deep even breaths and telling myself to calm down and make sure you do everything right. This morning a nice 8-point came walking by. I got really nervous and then I became calm as I got into position and ready to draw. Turns out the buck never did get close enough and walked calmly away. I think I could have shot in haste and possibly hit him but I wanted to be sure of my shot. I don' t think that the excitement will ever go away. If it does then maybe we shouldn' t continue hunting.
