Who still gets it and how bad.

I stay pretty calm until after the shot, then I will get the shakes.
I love that rush.

I have noticed that my daughter is getting MUCH better.  Her first deer 3 years ago she was shaking so bad I would have bet the farm she was going to miss.  Her first bow kill at riply this year she had 10 min to watch the doe before the shot that she calmed her self down pretty good.  And her second bow kill deer she wasn't shaking at all until after the shot and then she was shaking like a leaf.
Anything that is free is worth saving up for.

My heart pumps a mile a minute with every deer that walks by.  Its a great feeling - I think if I ever dont get excited about seeing a deer, that will be the end of hunting for me.
ANYWAYS, I still get it, I am able to breathe and calm myself and take a good shot, but I swear, sometimes they can hear my heart beat!   :banghead:

I hope I can experience some buck fever this weekend  :Deer:  :Deer:

My worst case was 2 years ago before I attempted a 228 yard shot I watched it for ten min then shot she droped like a rock

My bow kill this year on a small doe was bad when I first saw her caled down before the shooting lane and drilled her and then I had it bad

Like MTCOMMER says if you dont get some sort of buck fever you dont belong hunting.
