What is the best crossbow for hunting Whitetail Deer?

Do I need to concentrate on poundage and/or FPS ? I want to go hunting Deer and possibly Beer in NYS next year, 2011, when it becomes legal.
Wallow……, first of all everything I killl for the meat. I do hunt for sport and to feed my family, but hunting is no different then what a butcher does. Secondly, I came here for advise and assistance, not your dribble…… GET A LIFE….. !
Try a Barnett. Burt find out what legal requirements may exist in your state first.
To Wallow: Have you ever seen the crop damage that deer can do to a corn field? Or how badly they can mess up the front end of a car? That’s what deer can do to us.
Most decent ones run around the 300 fps area the expensive ones get up around 350fps.I have a Barnett and it is 150 pound pull right around 300fps and it does a fine job taking deer.
Like anything its shot placement.
Guys killed deer for thousands of years with a pointy stick just by having good shot placement.
FPS is what kills them, not the poundage.
I have an Excalibur. I prefer the simplicity of the recurve instead of a compound.
Horton, barnett, and ten-point all make good crossbows.
