Sit down, Take a deep breath, and relax bro, it' s a long season still to go and the best hunting is around the corner.

I used to go all out like you the first couple of weeks of the season, full bore intent on dropping that first deer, by the time the third week of the season rolled around I was all burnt out before the rut kicked in. Now after adding a few years to my age I have learned better! Just take a deep breath man, don' t worry about all your buddies who have tagged one already and rubbing it in, it' s not a competition, it' s about being out in the woods and experiencing the outdoors.

I' ve posted this quote in another thread, but will do it again as I see it fits this one perfectly. This is from one of Greg Miller' s whitetail books " Temper your enthusiasm with a little common sense"
