portable don't do it. I had a nice 10 pt. mounted about 8 or 9 years ago and had about 2" of of one brow tine broke off. I had the taxidermist fix it to match the other. After all these years I wish I hadn't had it done. I now agree with the others those oddities add character. ONLY MY TAXIDERMIST AND I KNOW FOR SURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
