Awesome post!! I agree 100% that controlling adrenaline is the difference between putting him on the wall or putting your head in your hands.

Good stuff. Hopefully the young uns and the seasoned veterans can all take at least a little piece of this with us to the field.

Great post Matt for young and old alike. It never hurts to be reminded of these important things. I especially appreciate the quote I copied from your post above.

.if the animal is within your effective range and giving you a good relaxed broadside or quartering away shot, don't milk it and hope for something even better. TAKE THE SHOT.

Exactly, take the 1st presentable shot offered that you can handle.
Good post Matt.

RE: ** Keep it together!! **

Thanks guys.......sometimes I just start writing to see where it ends up.

It was either this one or "The 10 Commandments of Rage broadheads"
It was a tough call.

LOL

Sometimes I think we just need a little more variety than "Whats your favorite broadhead, bow,blind,stand,color,flower,car,truck,camera??" and to provide a little useable info beyond gear, a dot on a map,or an argument about philosophies that can help the younger hunters here. (and maybe a couple tips just to reinforce what the veterans already know)

Glad you guys liked it.
