Elk ivories in a euro mount?

[Twobyfour]

I just harvested this guy and am going to do a euro mount. Question: do you tend to leave ivories in a European elk Mount? Yes or no?

I pop them out but I don’t see why you couldn’t leave them

My elk euros don’t have ivories.

I took mine out. No one is looking at his teeth, and they aren’t visible with him flush on the wall anyway.

Take them out and glue them back in. It seems they are not locked in the jaw as tight as their teeth, but maybe that’s just me.

Yep...

I’ve had them fall out into the garbage bag while steaming it for a euro, and I threw the garbage bag away before I noticed. I would pop them out before you decide what to do with them just so you don’t lose them.

That’s good to know. Thanks!

I remove them prior to the Euro process and don't put them back in, and they are not attached as securely as the other teeth.

As others have said, they just kinda flop around and will fall off during euro prep. But for anatomically complete head, just glue back on.

I pop them out. Like @Hunting Wife said, you don’t see them anyway when it’s hanging.

Sweet bull btw. Congrats!

I don't, but its your bull. Do whatever you like best.

Great bull. Congrats!
