Congratulations!
That's a great pumpkin head brown. Your heart must still be pounding.

Thanks for the compliments, it was quite the rush and made me very happy about my decision to pass a nice solid black bear about 2 hours earlier. I haven't officially measured the skull yet but from the rough measurements at the taxidermist it looks like it has a decent chance at making all time B&C.

That is the kind of bear you want to get. I don't pay much attention to bear hunting anymore, where do you need a permit to hunt bear in spring? Is that the southeast corner of the state? When I lived in Montana I shot a 10 year old boar during the middle of May so I know the thrill.

I don't think I've seen this many color phase as well as big bears in a spring season since I've been around Hunt Wa or living in Wa.
Nice job!
