I still shake like a mofo when a big buck walks out.

Yeah its one helluva rush

I’ll quit hunting when I lose that feeling.

Yeah, when I got the chance to shoot a big one this year I turned into a spastic goof. I don’t think I’ll ever calm down when I shoot a deer.

My arrow still bounces up and down on the rest when a buck steps out. Hell, even a big doe that I plan on shooting gets my heart rate up. That’s what makes it so much fun.

I only had it once. I was in South Texas years ago and attempted a 400 yard shot at a nice buck. I was shooting across a canyon and misjudged the range, shooting over his back on my first shot. Well it was on then! That buck went running up the canyon and I was breathing so hard from my miss I could barely hit Texas, much less that buck. Four rounds later I watched him top over the opposite ridge to freedom. I had half the deer camp looking for me because they thought I was shooting like that because I was lost.....LOL

My dad always says if he ever loses “the shakes” he’s gonna hang it up, because what’s the point. Ain’t happened yet!

Thing I've always noticed....how cold you get a few minutes after "the shakes".

That's the 70/30 split. Normally 70% of your body's blood is in your arms and legs. The other 30% resides in your torso. It's how your fingers and hands can be so intricate while working.

That adrenaline dump sucks all that blood back into your torso for your body's natural fight or flight reaction. Now only 30% of your blood is in your arms and legs. Hence the 70/30 split.

Less blood in arms and legs combined with the comedown of the adrenaline dump and we are shaking like leaves.
