Nice, I always like to cut the top teeth off the skull. Sits better, looks cleaner, and a lot of European Euro mounts do that.

I use a Sawzall knock off that I got on clearance sale from harbor freight for about $25. I like to do it right from the get go. Makes it a lot easier to clean out the brains as well if you take the cut all the way up the base of the skull. And levels it all out.

I like the teeth in, looks more rustic to me! I lost one of the ivorys/whistlers at the dang pressure wash ( went back no luck) or I would have hot glued them back in as well ...I wasn`t poken around for a BH it was gut shot and very very ..P F N U HAHAHA thanks everyone! MikeC

The ivories fall out very easily as they aren't even sunk into the jawbone. I glue them back in myself, but have to keep close track of them when you're cleaning the skull.
Here in NM skulls (not sheds) cannot legally be picked up. They legally have to be purchased from the state. Be sure of the rules in whatever state you are in.
