My technique is to keep shooting until it the deer stops running...

I shot at my first buck 5 times, and watched the little forkie trot away
untouched, only to later walk within twenty yards of a 4 point broadside,
and realize I was out of shells.

I still get the shakes during an after shooting, just like when I've got a 
really big fish on, and I wouldn't have it any other way.
