RE: How nervous do you get?
 

Before a shot, I don't think I really feel anything. I guess maybe because I am too busy talking myself thru what is going on, guessing yardage, figuring out which way he is going to go, where to draw, picking my spot. I do get pretty worked up after the shot, sometimes more than others. I remember one deer, I got worked up so bad that I could not climb down my tree for like 30 mins.

I would say I start at a 7-8 with a hught heart pounding and then if I have some time to focus I can get myself down to a 4-5. I don't really get the shakes but I do get a major thumping heart.

i'll say about a 6-8 depending

RE: How nervous do you get?
 

I would say about a 2. I think it is because I have had to control my anxiety and focus since I was little and racing go carts. I went straight from go carts to 450 HP racing trucks. I remember on my first pace lap my foot was shacking so bad I couldn't stay at a steady speed and was chirping my tires all around the track. Don't get me wrong, I get excited deer hunting and love it. I'm just able to stay calm.

My thinking is that if I ever loose that giddiness,hunting wouldn't be fun anymore!!!!!

RE: How nervous do you get?
 

It depends on the situation. If a deer just "pops up out of nowhere," I don't have time to get nervouse. If I see him/her coming for a while I'm able to calm myself down until right before it's time to draw. I've never had any problems drawing or anything like that though. When I know the moment of truth is getting ready to happen, I get shaky. 4

Once the arrow is gone and I know I've hit the animal, I'm a mess!!!! 8


I love every bit of it!!!!

RE: How nervous do you get?
 

im an 8.....i shake so bad youd think i was having a heartattack in my tree

RE: How nervous do you get?
 

Before the shot - 1
After the strike - 8
But I don't think its nerves, its the adrenaline rush! Takes about 15 minutes to get past it.

My heart still pumps when I shoot at any deer otherwise it wouldn't be fun anymore!!:D
