first bear taken in 08?

[tayhot]

Shot this bear opening morning at 6:00 am after calling for 10 minutes. I was in a stand and he came in behind me where I shot him from 10 yards. Kind of scary as I was by myself and this was the same bear who broke off my trail the day before. Estimated weight is 325-350 lbs. What a great cinammon coat he has. Cant wait to get him back from the taxidermist.
