[QUOTE="Deleted member 48126, post: 855834"] I get buck fever and I shake all over the place. When I was 18 and came back from college for a Thanksgiving hunt, I was placed in a tree stand overlooking my buddies corn field. I had a Marlin 336, in .35 Remington with a nice redfield scope on it. The furthest shot in any direction of this field was 100 yards. A nice 8 pointer walked out literally within 5 minutes of me getting into the stand. I fired on a perfect 75 yard broadside shot and saw him jump about 5 feet into the air then sprint into the woods. I thought I made an awesome heart lung shot. I got down from the stand and saw pieces of bones and fur with very little blood. I knew instantly that I hit low and took out his front left leg. I felt nauseated. My dad and two buddies tracked him till about 3 am (made the shot around 530 pm) when the woods exploded with coyotes, howling and running around us. I figured they found the deer before us and mother nature got the last laugh. Since then I practiced and practiced and I used small game hunting as a prep. To say the least I dont miss anymore.
