Default Recomdation on broken skull plate

I shot a small buck this past weekend. I hit him right between the eyes and collapsed his horns. They center got busted up pretty bad. Any recomendations on how to put them back together? I will just be hanging them in the basement. Nothing fancy.

Fiberglass chop/bondo or epoxy will work for what your doing.

You can use many different techniques -I've cut the skull plates too small before and used wood & glue to replicate the skul plate. Wrap it with felt or leather and only you will ever know that it wasn't perfect.

This one was busted
