That's what I started hunting as a kid. Loved it and still do. When young I used a shotgun, but hated when they didn't die quick. Plus chomping down on shot hurt sometime! So I went to a 22 and head shots only. I don't kill as many, but it makes you work for it more, and the shooting skill is higher. I use the Remington sub sonic hollow points. My rifle shoots them well, quiet and I can hear when I get a good shot with the thud!
