My Nephew shot a buck over Thanksgiving and he broke off right after his Brow Tine. I had the processor skull cap it and just have the antlers. Talked with a few taxidermists about getting the right side replicated but have never done that before.

What would yall do?

Personally, I'd leave it broken. Better story that way.

Leave as it is is what I would do, if I didn’t want a rack how it looked i wouldn’t shoot it.

You're not the first person this has ever happened to.

I had one that broke a tine when it crashed years ago. I couldn't find the broken part even though I know it was there when I shot.

I worried about it but the taxidermist that did the euro mount fixed it to match the other side and unless you knew where to look, you couldn't tell it was ever broken. It had little bumps on it like they have naturally and the color was spot on.

The man to seek out is Billy Mays, the TV huckster. He has a product for just about everything under the sun with the promise to fix it quickly.....

I'd leave it. That kind of stuff gives them character.
