Tom Venesky: Air rifles for big game in Pennsylvania lacks merit

Some hunters prefer to hunt deer with traditional bows or a muzzleloader because they like the challenge of hunting with a primitive weapon.
But there’s a big difference between a challenge and ethics. I don’t begrudge anyone who chooses to hunt with a recurve, for example, or even a muzzleloader. They are effective choices when used in the corresponding season. When it comes to the ethical choice, however, I’ve always believed that you use the tool that is most capable of a quick, clean, one-shot kill.
