A deep gutteral bugle echoing through the canyon at first light. I cant hear elk bugle enough.................Bulls ,bugles, boggs and black timber

The thing that gets me going is watching the animal come in, right into your set up. Seeing him for the first time, and then the anticipation of him coming into range. Generally I lose most of the adrenaline when the animal is in range until after the shot, but after the arrow is sent, or bullet is triggered off, it all culminates and that rush is hard to beat!

That would get me pumped too,... but I haven't heard a deer walking on frozen leaves since 1068. Len ran 20 past me this morning. They stopped about 75 yards out and tried to figure out what to do. Then he came over the hill and they galloped by at 55 yards. I still couldn't hear them. I get pumped when I hear TWACK.

I would have to say that I really get pumped when I can hear something coming thru the woods but you cant see it. Man the suspense kills me.[:o]

Just being in the woods gets me pumped and hearing my 6 year old daughter say " dad you need to shoot another deer I want some venison"....

pre season scouting and finding a new area for the first time that you think is gonna be the hot spot. no pressures just dreams of big bucks and the anticipation of opening day :)

RE: What gets you pumped
 

From the moment that they come in until the time they leave. With or without my arrow :D Also the sound of a deer feeding on acorns right behind me.

I gotta put myself into the EVERYTHING catagory. I've heard squirrel I was sure were deer. Deer I was sure were people. people I figured must be dogs, a pig I was sure was a turkey..and no matter what I think it is my heart beats so hard it makes me feel like I'm gonna vomit. Or having a couple deer come busting thru with dogs on their butt. Damn I love it all. Sometimes even being out there in the woods and having a hunter come "stalking thru" and he never sees me. I love hunting. Love it all.

When they're walking on a trail that you know is going to put them in range and offer you a good shot. Trying to remain calm can sometimes be difficult at the moment of truth.
