I know that I could have bagged a big buck last hunting season if it were not for buck fever. Deer hunting buck fever is a type of anxiety that takes over your body and makes you do or not do certain things. I remember seeing a nice buck coming my way and my heart started pounding out of my chest almost instantly. I had my bow hanging on a hook in the tree, I remember thinking I need to grab it and get ready but the strangest thing happened; I could not move. It was like a was frozen as the buck moved closer and closer I continued to stand motionless. I thought to myself what the heck are you going to do dummy, jump on its back? I finally got the nerve to slowly grab for my bow when the buck went behind a huge oak tree. I got it in my hand a clipped on my shooting release despite the fact my hand was shaking like a leaf. As the buck entered my shooting lane a remember pulling my bow back as hard as I could. I only had enough strength to get it half way back. I could not draw it fully! Then my arrow feel off from my shaking and hit my rest, the noise scared the buck off and the rest is history.
