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!

had the exact same thing happen to my bull last year.

I have some with them in that i glued in after the euro was done and i have some without. just a slightly different look.

I dont hang my flush to wall i let jaw stick out a bit so you do notice them.

had another pair turned into earrings for wife by https://hammeredinthemountains.com/?srsltid=AU7gw4XDBfiR_2iYOk_EROS7xlmoTCP7x5fcencvR103tmu8RgQzLoXQ.

They turned out really nice and Autumn was easy to work with for the exact set i was looking for.

That's a great bull! Love the mass! I have all my euros done by a guy I know. He always puts the ivories in a sealed baggie and tapes them to the horns. I've never bothered putting them back in the skull. I just add them to the collection I already have.

 

[Wally Dog]

I have no euro mounts but do have a zip lock full of ivories..........!

 

[cgasner1]

It’s a great way to not loose them. If you continue having success you’ll end up with a zip lock bag full of them until you start just leaving them. The nice thing about doing that is they would stay with that bull
