Ok,I supposea few will always look for the "easiest" weapon. I had to chuckle though,at the choice of crossbow (of which I have no problem with) over a compound bow. But, the point Id make though, is simply this...Most of us NYers know of guys who have traditionally gone down to PA to hunt deer. Ask any of them why, and most will tell you its because they enjoy shooting their rifles. I believe that a majority actually do like shooting the rifle, and this offers them that opportunity. Its not about being easy, in my opinion. Hell, the guys who use rifles because its "easy" start in September, after dark. I too often see the fragmented bullets in deer to prove that, lol.

I personally probably wont be able to take advantage of a rifle season here in NY, but Im not against one either. Ive always been a proponent for weapon efficiency, out of respect for the animal.
