Hah! That’s a fact! I was explaining that to DIL this weekend. Asked her if she could feel her heartbeat in her throat when she saw the deer. She asked me how I knew that? I told her when hunting no longer does that to you it is time to stop.
I’ve been 20 yards from a pissed off bugling elk while hunting with a camera. Covered in cow piss and all cameoed up. Couldn’t focus the camera. I could see his snot. Amazing experience. We were where we shouldn’t be so the bows were stashed.
