Big black bear.  Looks like it was a good shoulder mount candidate.

My first ever WA spring draw.  Hopefully I won't have to wait so long to get the next permit.

Nice bear Rad, what did the skull aka pumpkin measure?

[RadSav]

I have yet to measure it myself.  I was guessing around 18.  Michelle did the capping and I think she said it was shy of 18.  He's an odd bear.  Ears look like he should have a huge skull, left front shoulder had been shattered by a bullet years before, and he's older than dirt. But the skull was not anything near what I thought it would be when I pulled the trigger. 

In that picture you can see a fold in his hair over that left shoulder.  That's from the previous bullet wound.  Didn't stop him from running like a bat out of a hot place.  And might be the reason he stopped before going over the hill.  I think he ran out of poop and had to take a breather   Nice for me!!!  As the Accubond from the 325 Kimber dropped him in his tracks.

Not that I really care the skull size   You can't tell in the pictures but he's salt and pepper (my first) with very nice hair.  Not the biggest I've killed by far, but one of the few I plan on mounting full body.
