J42, That is a nice buck!! BIG CONGRATS to your son!!
As genetics go, there is a stream of white tail and muley deer that have them and seem to be a little more successful in breeding as of late compared to their competitors! Nice finds!

looks like the milk tooth on a long yearling elk

the state biologist says they are not teeth and made out of ivory. there are some good pictures showing up of really big ivory tusk, any history behind those pictures?
I've seen deer and elk ivory before (you can buy them at Moscow Hide and Fur in Moscow, ID, about two miles from where I sit), and that's nothing like it.
Actually I remembered it wrong. The OP has it correct. I'd that the ivories, or "tusks" were farther back on the skull. I thought wrong. Here's the Moscow Hide & Fur web site, showing a white tailed deer skull for sale, which has ivories;

Sorry for the error. Carry on.
my gosh, my sons 2 skulls are better than that 1000 dollar one. didnt realize they are worth some real money. im sure he would never part with them. when he gets home today i will have to tell him, thanks.
they are staying on his wall as how often does one ever get a deer with tusks, he may never get another one. a good mount will last a long time, cabela's in rapid city has a full deer mount from the 1870/s and it is in really good shape. looks like it was done yesterday. his are skull mounts and they will last also.
