I don't have any first-hand knowledge of NY, but I understand that rifles are only allowed in the Adirondack, and that everywhere else is shotguns.

Your point about the shot is dead on. I have actually seen folks pull out a pellet and set it to the side of their plate.

The biggest problem with shot is stopping power. Unless you enjoy tracking, slugs are the way to go.

The biggest problem with shot is the shooter not understanding it's range.
At close range the "stopping" power of buckshot is very good.
