Meant to add... some people in NY act like having to hunt a different zone one year is like having to go out of the country.
No, it isn't like going out of the country, but if you want to hunt some private land and avoid all the yahoos you seem to encounter on public land it isn't exactly a simple undertaking. Some of us already drive considerable distances to get to our hunting grounds. Adding another 2, 3 hours to the drive is not exactly feasable for many. In my opinion the lack of private land available for hunting is the number one reason many hunters are giving up the sport.
