Lumberland - A West Nyack man shot and killed a 617 pound black bear over the weekend, and it cost him $1,500.
David K. Malone, 41, shot the male bear with a bow and arrow about 9 a.m. Sunday, about 60 yards from his weekend house on Haring Road in the Town of Lumberland. Police from the Department of Environmental Conservation said Malone lured the bear there with a bait pile of donuts, bagels, blue fish and a barrel of molasses.
Malone took the bear head and pelt to a taxidermist in Pennsylvania, and the carcass to a meat cutter. Malone's reputation preceded him, DEC Lt. Deming Lindsley said. Someone tipped off a game warden in Pennsylvania that Malone hunted over bait. Constables in Lumberland got the same tip. At Malone's weekend property, DEC police found the bait pile and the gut pile.
The Pennsylvania game warden turned over the head and pelt to the DEC. The bear meat was also seized.
Malone was cited today for illegally taking a bear, a misdemeanor; and hunting over bait and illegal transport, violations. He paid a civil penalty of $1,502.50 in Lumberland Court. DEC police have filed for a revocation of Malone's hunting license. His permit could be revoked for one to five years.
