Buck Fever is real.

Even I still get it if I know I'm going to shoot at something and it's around for a long period of time.

I had a doe standing quartered to me at 18 yards wide open being cautious before she moved into a field. I wanted to shoot but knew I did not have the shot. The deer stood in the same type of position for like 15 minutes. It had to go broadside to me at 15 yards to enter the field. I was in a semi-crouched position and was pinned. My legs started really shaking after about 5 minutesand whatI did was concentrate in an area away from the deer and tried not to even think about the deer. It helped a lot. My legs hurt for the next two days though.

well i guess i'll say it again. drop the poundage. that will help with the movement. on the nerves part....try some quick sprints around the house right before you shoot. you'll get the increased hear rate and shortness of breath.
