First deer hunt as a kid,dad put me in a stand and he was about 50yds from me on his stand.after awhile I see a nice muley buck coming down these slash rows. I raise my gun and start to shoot,I heard my dad saying shoot,then I heard him say shoot again. Then boom the buck dropped. I was so happy,only problem was I was ejecting bullets instead of shooting,dad finally shot it.. never again in my life did I have any fever on game .

Ever? I still have to calm myself down before almost every shot. I had one that popped up and I shot before I really had time to get excited but all the others I go into "oh my goodness, a deer a deer a deer!" mode for about didteen seconds and then need a few more to calm myself back down.
