Syracuse.com - Baldwinsville hunter didn't waste time: Two times out, two 8-point bucks

[HuntingNY-News]

He got one with during the regular firearms season; the other during the muzzleloader season.

Dentist Bob Clark said he was only able to get out a little bit this past hunting season -- estimating he spent only about seven hours total during two separate outings.

He used his time well, bagging two 8-point bucks on separate days in the town of Van Buren. He shot them with his TC Muzzleloader.

Clark, who lives in Baldwinsville and has a dental office in Liverpool, said he hunted six hours on the opening day of the regular firearms season in the Southern Zone before he shot his first buck. He took the second one this past Sunday after hunting only an hour during the muzzleloader season.

Clark with Deer No. 2, shot after only an hour in the woods. 

Not bad for a hunter who's only shot three deer in his entire hunting career. Both deer were shot with three miles of each other, he said, and both were eating apples at the time he aimed at them.

His plans for the deer?

"We're going keep some of the venison for the family, and we're going to give some to some friends who've been asking," he said.

He said he's going to have a trophy mount made from the second deer.

"Based on my hunting history," he said. "Chances of me getting another like that are pretty darn slim."
