LAST EDITED ON Aug-29-07 AT 07:35AM (MST)[p]BT, all Elk have the ivories, they are located on the topside of the mouth behind the front group of teeth. I have always cut them out with a knife but recently heard a new easier way is to place a short 2X4 or a stout stick against the ivory and firmly smack it with a hammer, rock or whatever you may have to knock the ivory out.

Guess I should clarify that all Rocky Mountain Elk have ivories but not sure about the other varieties of Elk
