Here is one from the bull I shot the year my daughter was born. 11 years ago. I made it into a necklace and gave it to her for Christmas this year. She refuses to take it off.

I'm kinda curious how most poeple go about getting the ivories out of the skull. It took me several years to figure out that just hitting the ivory with a hammer or other hard object pops the teeth out immediatly and for how hard the ivories actually are, I have never broke or scratched one.  I cant tell you how much time I wasted trying to pop the ivories out with a knife. 

no no cut the gums a little then take the other end of the hammer (claw) and pull it out like a nail 

Never thought of that, have to try that next time.

Great looking teeth. Unfortunately I haven't had any with much color.

I typically just cut the gums. My ex-aunt has a good trick poppin the butt of a knife with a rock but never tried.

What I will tell you is never try to cut them out while hanging... not me, nor will I reveal who, but there was a severed tendon involved. Just saying.

400out, I have no idea. I have cut out every ivorie from all my elk. I should have 20 some sets but this is all I have to show for it.

I just cut them out, does not take to long.  Horrible pic, but here is the ones from my 2011 WA cow. I like them. They have a bit more color than my spike bull from a few years ago.

  Ya, it does look a little strange! It is accually my fist holding the ivories between my fingers. Best way I could hold them both and take a pic!

bc55 is correct but he left something out. if the lower jaw is on put something in the throat. or you are fishing them out of the esophigus. thanks 55 that trick rocks.
