Ok I have been small game hunting for awhile ( rabbit, gophers, squirrel, an those pesky possum that get into my garbage every other day )

I have gotten comfortable with that. My buddy is saying I need to ramp up to larger game, only then will my (balls) have dropped so he says.

Would you guys consider whitetail or deer in general a good step up or is that still considered smaller game.

( I dont think im on bear and moose level just yet lol! )
