First Pa. Black Bear after 10years...

After 10 years of hunting BlackBear in Pa. I finaly got one in the extended Blackbear season on Monday the first day of our Rifle Deer season.
I see them around my house alot and in my treestand in archery season but as soon as the 3 day Blackbear season opens, I cant ever seem to find any. I live on the border of Clinton/Lycoming county and these are always the #1 and#2 bear kill counties!!
In Sullivan County, I managed to take this 100lbs male while sitting on a cliff looking out upwind of a draw on Monday the first day of Buck.A 225 yard double lung shot with my 300 Win mag put him down in his tracks.
Its not a big one, but still a trophy to me. He is being made into a full body mount, standing up, in native habitat. He will join my many whitetail mounts. (Oh by the way....I only saw 2 doe the first day?)
