i've killed 19 deer in my 4 years of deer hunting and i get the fever every time. i just tell myself to stay calm and i breathe. you gotta breathe.dont hold your breath. it'll make it worse. Then the second before i pull the trigger i just go into autopilot mode. i really dont remember pulling the trigger, its just like a subconcious action. but do i ever get the shakes afterward! after i got my buck this, i just kinda looked at realized what i had just done. 50 deer coming down right on top of you really is awesome. i just looked around and saw the empty hulls lying at my feet and i had to sit down to keep from falling down. thats the fun of it. the reason i hunt. the adrenaline. you just gotta control your feelings and breathe. it helps for me by getting my gun up and getting ready to make the shot.get the safety off and track the deer in the scope until it offers the shot. if you're absolutely going nuts, dont look at the headgear if its a buck. i've never had a problem when checking the rack before i shoot. good luck
