Kreagerm, I know what you mean for my first buck I want a mature deer that will be score at least 130 not a really high bar for around here but I just have to but a lot of time in. Last year I had a few decent bucks in range so I'd always practice drawing and staying calm and settling my pins.. I never get really excited over the shooting of the animal more when I get to put it iin my hands. I'm sure I'll get buck fever eventually though
