would you "fix" a broken point on a buck you shot ?
I shot a pretty nice 8-pointer with my bow in November, a 2.5 or 3.5 year old buck. Well after I got up to him, I noticed he had broken his right G-2, he has about an inch of antler left. He is currently at the taxidermist getting mounted. I originally decided to have him mounted the way he was when I shot him, with the broken tine. But now I am kind of considering having my taxidermist "repair" the tine, since my buck did have about 6 to 7 more inches on the tine. What would you do? Would you think less of the buck since I repaired it? Should I keep it the same as it is, maybe he broke the tine in a wild buck fight? I am 65% keeping it the way it is, but it will look a little bigger and "prettier" with a symmetrical rack. Keep in mind he did have the point, I am not adding points and would never do such a thing. Just looking for some friendly advice. Thanks guys. PS I added some pictures of the buck about 12 posts down
