Default having broken tines repaired...

ive always been one that said "if its not there when i kill it, i wont add to it by having broken tines fixed"

exception would be it was there when i shot it and it broke it on its death run/crash etc...

but, I took my widest/biggest buck Saturday(rifle kill) nothing huge...but would be a nice 6pt 15 1/4 or so wide...but it has a busted brow that is about slick (other side is somewhere around 2") and the other antler has a busted g2...busted about 1.5"...the other side is about 6". rack would be nice if it were intact....but it wasnt there when i shot it....

not sure if im really considering it or not...kicking around the idea but i dont know...might but i doubt it..i dont know

just curious what would/have you guys done??? i now see BOTH sides of the argument...it clearly wasnt there when i shot him...but its easy to see that it would be symmetrical and would make it look real nice if it were intact...so i can understand why some guys do have them fixed...just makes them look nice..

(for the sake of argument say its your best bow kill...but nothing huge or a monster..just your first nice one....i just posted here because i know i share the same ideas as many of you fellow bowhunters...just happened i took this buck with a rifle..)
