[QUOTE="fairchaser, post: 5758671, member: 10373"] We have a saying in competition match shooting. Don’t be a hero! If you aren’t sure about your wind call, don’t shoot and hope. Wait until you are sure. I feel many hunters wait so long for that shot at a good buck, sometimes many years, when he does appear, the fear of loss makes the brain go numb and reflexes go haywire and they slap the trigger, more commonly known as the buck eggers. I think it helps to play out the scenario in your mind many times beforehand. When it does happen, you can talk yourself down enough to execute the shot. You generally have more time than you think. Tell yourself if he gets away, it’s ok. It’s way better to allow him to pass until a better opportunity than to wound the deer or even miss. Remove the fear of loss from the equation and you’ll be able to perform better under pressure. [/QUOTE]
