Buck Fever
 

Ok i will admit it... i get buck fever sometimes. hell the other day i got it just photographing elk. how about you?

RE: Buck Fever
 

finally learned to control most of it until after I shoot!!! Well havent been on the big bears yet so that may change back in a real hurry LOL.

RE: Buck Fever
 

thats something I thank we all get at some time.I talk to my slef and to the deer or what ever I am hunting.talk under my breath,not out loud.
my wife told me the other day,she said talking to herslef helped.she said she remembered what I said about it.
sometimes nothing helps.


I am not a hunter I am a whitetail population reduction specialest

remember keep your back to the sun, your knife sharp, and your powder dry.

RE: Buck Fever
 

something that will help, get close to a ton of whitetails during the spring and summer (heck doesnt matter the species) a bou hunt will settle your buckfever if you get into a decent herd or two.

I watched my brother-in-law jump a huge muley and just stand and watch it run off all he could say was he didn't even think about shooting .He got kidded a lot about that one .

RE: Buck Fever

I get buck fever, even when I doe comes into range. I have learned to "control" it. After the shot is when it sets in for me. This year I shot a doe with my bow at 8 yards, I knew that I had hit her in the boiler room. When I climbed down the tree I thought that I was going to die. My hands and legs were shaking. It is a good feeling after you make a successful shot, a bad feeling before making a shot.

Good Luck This Season: Buck Magnet
P.S. Only Chuck Adams can sit at home and see deer so get into the woods. =;^)

After shooting at my 1st buck I sat down for a cigarette, I was shaking so hard that I couldn't smoke it, while looking for blood I realized that I had no idea how many shots I had taken, after I found him and saw the size of his rack it got worse, I put a nice gash in my finger with my knife while trying to nothch out the date on my tag.
I still get the fever but not nearly as bad now that I have buck under my belt.

RE: Buck Fever
 

BUCK FEEVER IS A GREAT THING. WHEN I DON'T GET IT ANYMORE I'LL PROBABLY GIVE UP THE HUNT.

CERTIFIED GUN NUT--

RE: Buck Fever
 

YEAH I USED TO GET IT REALLY BAD, BUT LEARNED HOW TO CALM DOWN.

RE: Buck Fever
 

I agree with BigGun300. If you dont get it, whats the use of going? Controlling it is the key.

RE: Buck Fever
 

That feeling is why I go hunting! Buck fever is great, but only after the shot. The best way to control it is by experiencing it as much as you can. In time you will control it, not the other way around.

I get it bad cause after I shoot I feel like im gonna faint.
