"BUCK FEVER"

I couldn't believe it. ive shot well over a hundred deer and 55 of them with a bow. I haven't had buck fever in twenty years. But this evening a small eight pointer ( a glorafide six point with 1 inch browtines) came in on me and i had buck fever so bad  he spooked because the arrow was bouncing on the shelf. It was the worst case Ive ever seen and it took me ten minutes to settle down. This is my first year hunting with 100 percent primitive equipment, plus Ive never shot a deer with a self bow so i figure that's the reason. Plus i was on the ground, using the selfbow Nugget made me and some flint heads Billy made for me on some self arrows i made. The buck was walking straight to me and didn't offer a shot till he was TEN YRDS, man was that a blast.All i can say is, im tickled to death to have the passion and desire back. For the last few years ive let numerous deer walk and only shot a few for meat because i didn't have the desire to shoot one unless it was a bigun. Killing deer was just work in my mind. But sense ive switched back to primitive, any deer is a trophy, its like starting all over again. It doesn't matter to me that i didnt shoot him, i still feel like i just shot a world record. Thanks TJ for lighting this fire again and making this possible.

Man I wish I could have been there. That must have been exciting. Awesome day of hunting in my book.
You are welcome boo. If it were not for your influence I would not be doing all this anyways.

woodstick:
yea been there but if you loose that buck fever and excitment whats the drive, passion, and desire to get out there. so in my book even if you didnt get to eat him you still had one helluva day, glad you sharred it with us.

Pat B:
A successful hunt in my eyes.  Congratulations Bobby. Welcome back! 8)

boo:
OH for sure my most successful hunt in a few years. I even went and made another ground blind today. Woodstick, you are exactly write bro, and to tell the truth i had lost it the last four or five years. Feels good to have that drive again. Thanks
