I'm glad it wasn't a easy hunt and that he had to work and put some effort into getting a shot on a elk even if it was a cow , because now he has a better understanding of what hunting can be . Removing the ivories and doing something with them will be a good momento for a successful hunting experience . You're friend along the snare line . Allan

I have never done anything with mine, just stored in a wooden box. Great Job!!! The elk doesn't excite me anymore but that arrowhead really does!!!!! Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime
