Default RE: does anyone have any advice for beating buck fever?

All had good advice and I like what Muley69 said about getting out and shooting in the woods as anyone can shoot good at the range but making it more realistic will help too. He also mentioned getting mad at the animal and I had a friend of mine tell me that this fall. He considers them the enemy and hunts as if the deer has a weapon and can shoot back. It may sound corny but he doesn't miss much. I plan on doing more shooting in the woods this year with rifle and muzzleloader as I missed a shot on a doe with my new mz and want to gain more confidence with it. What JohnCH said about getting out and seeing animals is so true too. I get out in the spring pre turkey season and call turkeys in and get a chance to observe them close range and they are good practice for remaining still and learning to move when the opportunity presents itself. There is no substitute for experience and being around more deer and other animals can't hurt.
