mdr - do you hunt with primitive mz? If not, why do yo need a seperate season for a scoped single shot rifle - that is what I see my Omega as being. Other than being single shot, it is a far more effective weapon than most shotguns with slugs. It cannot be argued that is is less effective than a shotgun - as least if someone is capable of waiting for a deer to stop running before shooting.

Reports for the last 2 years from most( not all) of NY indicate the herd to be way down. Why are longer seasons for more effective weapons needed to further reduce the herd.
