RE: shakeing when the deer are there
as long as i live i will remember my first buck..well only buck to date...there i was , wasn' t shaking to bad...got that lung shot off, after the smoke cleared i saw legs in the air, then it happened i started shaking, the phone rang, i had to hang up and grab hold of the tree i was about to shake myself right out of the climber...litterally.....each time i shake , but that time was horriffic 
...haven' t hunted out of a climber since, lol....and i actually climbed about 15-16 foot ..i was so proud, i got that high without freaking....one day i' ll conquer this fear of hieght

i dont think theres much that can beat that feeling, and its hard to explain to non-hunters too just what a rush it is. Can still remember my first hunt(3 yrs ago) ended up with a lil buck, shakin soo bad i missed him 3 times and fogged up the scope

last year i was rattling kind of half a$$ because it was post rut and i didnt expect anything to show up. Figures up over a ridge from a swamp walks a fork horn and stalks walking along the ridge getting further away every step so i take a shot and he runs off, because i missed, but i still couldnt stop shaking. i got buck fever, but its allright because i was only 13

RE: shakeing when the deer are there
You know what is cool also, I still get the shakes, mainly after the shot. Now that my son is huntign for the first time. I shake all over again. My son said to me as a doe approached the other night, " man you really do shake don' t you? " We never got a shot but how cool is it to have the same feelings for someone else! Your right, you can' t understand until you have lived it.
