Greetings

Last night I had an encounter with the biggest buck I've ever seen on the hoof in a hunting situation....I estimated him at probably 170class or better....he got to about 60 yds in this brushed up field.....I probably watched him meander extremely slowly for about 15 minutes until he turned and went the wrong way....I was actually surprised that I was able to "hold it together" while he was initially closing the distance.....but after he left I shook so hard in the tree I thought the whole stand was going to fall...lol.....I think I may get the fever so bad because of my time as a youth where I was lucky to see one spike in an entire year of hunting.....that was 30 years ago.....does anyone have anything they do to successfully combat the fever???.......I know it's a love/hate relationship we have with it, but I was wondering what you all might do that helps get you thru until after the shot. I breathe deeply and also bite down on my tongue which seems to help a little....but for me, it's not foolproof.
