B&C Caribou.

After deductions, it scored 408 5/8" B&C (green). 390" is the min. for the book. Yukoner also got a very nice one on the same day with his custom FN 9.3x62.

And if you tried the tongue, you can probably understand why some animals have been killed mainly for their tongues in times past. I love fried caribou tongue. Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

Goes to both of you guys. My favorite caribou antlers are those from mountain caribou that have a nice C shape, high degree of symmetry, and a lot of mass. Your's had all of those attributes in spades.
