[Adamsfj]

I just finished reading your write up and I have to say it was one of the best write ups and photos I have read here on RS. Congratulations to both your son and you on an mazing hunt/adventure. Thank you for sharing with all of us

Back at basecamp we had time to admire the one ram, a beautiful Fannin, that had made it back to camp. And everyone had a chance to look over my son’s caribou. Me? I may have snuck off at one point and grabbed a soft tape from my cabin. I had to know……how wide is that thing?!?!? 55 3/8” wide. That’s how wide. Rough scoring the next day showed a gross score of 424” and change and a net score of 404”. For the record, I’ve never scored a caribou but I’ve scored plenty of deer and elk so I’m familiar with the process but caribou are different. I reserve the right to have screwed something up while measuring but I felt good about the numbers when double checking everything against a formal score sheet from B&C.

@RdRdrFan, Congrats to your son (and to you) for two great animals. The drying period has passed, so how close were you on score?

Not sure. Don’t have them back yet.

Appreciate that this story was bumped back to the top or I would have missed this epic adventure. Congrats Dad. Well done.

And that caribou - That is the most beautiful bull I've ever seen. Can see why you all went back after him.
