Hey everyone while this is my 1st post i have been following the many responces on this issue and all i can say WOW there are many different feeling on this rifle matter. I did not even think it would be this huge. I am a landowner in Catt. county and i am for the use of rifle and i feel that we here in NY are some of the safest hunters in the USA. With that said tehre is always going to be them very few that can make good things go bad overnight. I just think if we all pay attention to every detail while hunting this rifle thing will go over very smooth. Thanks for reading and i am glad to be onboard this is a great site with many caring folks. Good luck to everyone out there and be safe!!.
