Tried to chop a tooth out of a washed up killer years ago NW of Nome. The jawbone was too tough for my estwing axe.
Assuming you have green scored the skull by now?

$23,500, and I'm on the cheaper end of the range.....probably the cheapest, come to think of it.

Thank you for the information, waggler.

Thanks for sharing the pics! Looks like a bruiser. Were you shooting or guiding? Is it legal to take the teeth out of that whale. If so, and you have some, can you take a picture of one in your hand for scale? I have no idea how big an orca ivory is...

Very good, wow that's gotta be a rush to get such a big bear like that.
That's for sharing

Waggy, what did the beast square out? Did you get the skull size? You sure have a knack for finding the nice ones!

Not a monster bear, but a real nice one; about 9 feet.
We didn't measure the skull, not B&C for sure though. It sure is nice hunting with a hunter who doesn't measure success with a tape measure.
