I don't know what else to call it. The feeling you get when you have hunted a patch of ground enough and your head is on straight enough that you can feel when and where the critters will be and he sights seem to steady themselves and the shot is like a poem.
That is how my hunting on the family land ususaaly is. But this year I lost it. I had my head filled with work, moving, and family conflicts. MY hunting became like a chore and I couldn't concentrate. I missed a 30 yard shot at a nice doe with a Ruger .44 that I had hit soda cans with at 100 yards at the range. I felt like I didn't belong there and should have been doing other things. Like I was being selfish for taking the time to hunt. One of the great loves of my life became a push to get a critter.
I'm not sure where I lost it. During bow season I got a nice doe and a turkey. The bow practically shot itself. Somethng changed along the way.
Have any of you ever expereinced this? How do you get it back?
Thanks
