An excited hunter with buck fever might experience a surge of adrenaline causing a rapid heart rate, trembling hands, shaking legs, rapid breathing, and impaired reasoning. This excitement can lead to physical symptoms like inability to hold the weapon steady and cognitive impairments such as forgetting shooting steps or rushing the shot. Such hunters may fumble with their weapon, rack rounds without shooting, jerk the trigger prematurely, or lose focus and situational awareness. They might also feel an emotional high causing overconfidence and poor decision making. In short, an excited hunter with buck fever may physically shake, become mentally scattered, rush or miss shots, and for some worse cases, become temporarily paralyzed or incapacitated, unable to carry out accurate shooting actions properly.
