Congratulations Rick. Good shooting. My son loves to help skin the deer too. He became enamored with that type of activity last year after he saw me cleaning some geese.

Why home school?
"In a web poll taken by 989 respondents, 49% said religious conviction is the main reason they continue homeschooling; 15% positive social environment; 14% academic excellence; 12% specific needs of child; 5% curriculum choice; and 5% flexibility." -- taken from Youcanhomeschool.org
Does it work?
"By grade 8, the average homeschool student performs four grade levels above the national average." -- ibid
Now, let me ask: Given the state of what's happening in the public school sector -- take any area you want: discipline, education, shootings, etc. -- do you really have to ask this question?
Congratulations on the doe! And even bigger kudos for involving your daughter. What a biology lesson!!

Why homeschool? We started it out of necessity. Our daughter was 5 and I was working on a reseach project off shorefor a couple of years and the local schools didn't offer a curriculum we were comfortable with, so we started home schooling. When wecame back to the states, I was working at Stanford and we lived in Palo Alto - there were certainly good schools there. Wedecided to continuethe home schooling program, it appeared to be working. She graduated from U of Idaho a few years ago. We have a 16 year old enrolled in a local junior college, his younger brother attends public high school. We're willing to support either; if they want to home school - that's ok. If they decide they want to attend public school we'll support that too.
