yukon deltaNice thick tusks. For those who don't know, Pete is on the left and Ron Oliver is on the right. Ron posts here.

RIPTusks both broken off or worn heavily at the tips. Was this an ambi-tusk-strous elephant?
Satisfactory asymmetry should qualify for the "Outer Circle Award" quite nicely.
Should rank quite high in Pope and Young too.

BwannaCongrats. As a youngster, when I was an obsessive archer and bowhunter, Pete Shepley was one of the folks in the industry I admired. In fact, when I was in 11th grade and working at the local archery store, I shot an arrow out of a PSE Mach 5 bow - the first heavily marketed commercial overdraw bow (radical overdraw), which broke and went right though my left hand. I still have a couple of nice scars to prove it.
