. I can see it all in my mind like I'm watching a movie. I even mentally visualize the moment the arrow hits the deer and watch it run off.
I did that once and cought myself falling out of the tree as I woke up.

Near the Jackson area. Little town called Brooklyn. You nascar fans might know of it. Its where the Michigan International Speedway is. I was about 2 miles from the track.

Happens to everyone at some point. When I was much younger and it happened to me, for practice I began running wind sprints in my backyard and then shooting my bow while shaking and out of breath. After several weeks of that I finally started focusing on the shot and the shaking and breathing became managable. If you don't get excited about taking a shot, well it might be time to be doing something else.

Thats excellent advice. I will try that this summer to get ready for next season. TY

Before this year i didn't believe in buck fever, but ever sinse i have shot my first buck i can't help but shiver when i see a buck. When i got my buck i can remember seeing it stand in front of me about 20 yards, and i can also remember seeing the arrow connect with the deer. But i have no memory of pullingthe arrow backand placing my pin on it. After i made the shot i was shaking so much that i felt like i was dancing.

95% of the bowhunters in the world will admit to having suffered "buck fever"...the other 5% will lie about it!
