I made this decision because I realized that
1. I'll probably screw up tanning and everything.
2. I realized that I cannot look at an 8-point buck in the woods and say "I'm a small game hunter" and look at my .22. I feel the primal pull towards deer, no matter how much I try not to.
3. A small game animal is a smaller target.
I appreciate all the advice, but, I can't leave the bucks I grew up hunting.
