Is rifle marksmanship still valid?

[Hookeye]

I'm no athlete. Never been strong.
But have always had fine pitch motor skills and good eyes.
My resting heart rate is over 90, always been.
I do a shot sequence too..........

Am I gonna shoot it? Yes or No?
If yes get footing, and look for area I will shoot. First good shot in that I take.
No second guessing. No questioning.
Focus. Yardage, placement. It's just a shot.
Shoot it.

After the deer is down I get the adrenaline dump and kinda get silly.
Never before.

Am too busy doing what needs done.

I love the fall.
And the feel of a rifle in my hand.
It is comfortable.
Maybe that helps me shoot. I dunno.

My yardage skills suck since I don't chuck hunt anymore.
If I go west for Mule deer indeed I will have a laser range finder.
Not gonna guess or risk it.
Doubt would screw me up.
