    I get it. I love it.

    After I shoot ANY deer, I just lose it and shake like a leaf.

    Best part.

    The reason I said this is because I have almost done the exact same thing, but luckily the shots were close enough that I did not screw them up too bad. I kept hitting high lung shots which were great and the deer were only going 60 yards or so, but I was trying to hit low, heart/lung. I finally realized once I settled the pin, I was shooting, looking and trying to track and mount the deer all before I eased on the trigger.

    Once I started getting a little cocky, and basically saying dead deer walking, and slowing the process down my shots fell back down to the lower third of the body.

    Same shooter (me), same skillset, but different attitude...that was my fix, keep working at it bro and you will find yours.

    Don't try and be perfect, I have one thought, kill it.
