I still get the shakes early on when the deer are close-by and an oppotrtunity is at hand. It goes away after my first kill. Adrenaline rush. Anyway, I got one down, the next will hopefully find me more calm. I've noticed I don't get too nervous when the deer suddenly appear and I make the shot, but watching them feed and slowly approach or work scrapes etc. the anticipation really gets me going. Any advice on controlling this excitement?
Yes, kill more deer! :D And remember to breathe. Eventually it will go away. I still get excited when I see a deer, but I no longer get the shakes like I did when I first started bowhunting.
I still get the shakes everytime that I see a deer in the woods. I freaking love it. For those of you that don't get them anymore: Are you still equally exited, just minus the shakes?
I like killing does but the young bucks keep chasing them off before I can get a shot. Both hunts today went that way. The night before a doe was in range but decided to stand quartering to me for 25 minutes while darkness fell on me. She wouldn't move. I even meee-ed and grunted at her to see if she would move. I was on the ground as usual and had to voice it as I didn't dare move in the sparse cover I was hiding in to grab my deer call. Nope she was content just standing there. She didn't seem to have a care in the world... well until I stood up after dark and called her a dork... that put the fire under her tail. LOL Tim
