[QUOTE="Bud Meadows, post: 10163, member: 169"] Thanks for the kind words, guys. Oddly enough, I only start shaking AFTER I take a shot at a big buck with my bow. I'm kinda on autopilot when I see them approaching. I check the wind direction, pick an opening that I can fit an arrow through, estimate the range to the opening, pick the right sight pin, and then wait for the appropriate time to draw back my bow. Now after I've made the shot, it's a different story. I lower my bow to the ground, take a compass reading to the last spot I saw the deer,and carefully climb down from my treestand. Typically, my knees are shaking by now, so I'm REAL careful climbing down. I've also been known to fire up a cigar to force me to wait before I start tracking the deer. [/QUOTE]
