I shot what was my nicest buck at the time a few years ago. I decided he was nice but not nice enough for shoulder mount, I took it to get mounted on a plaque. The tip on the main beam was broken off, maybe an inch. The taxidermist asked me if I wanted him to fix that it wouldn't be no big deal. So I told him yeah go ahead. Well after over a year wait and finally getting it back he never did fix it and I let it go. Now when I look at it I'm glad he didn't doctor it up, because this is the buck I shot. I could see if maybe you happen to fall while dragging it out and you broke it off, then fix it. Or doctor up a bullet hole to make it look natural. But that was his character with the broken tine, a fighter. So I would say accept it and mount the way it is or wait to shoot a perfect rack and then mount.
