Most every deer Ive shot, let alone mounted, have had busted up tines. I leave them just as they are. Last year, I shot a 9 point, that would have been a 11 point, except the broke off his main beam and one tine with it. He is euromounted with all busted tines and all.

In my earlier years of hunting I would of had it fixed. But now, any deer I shoot stays how it is.

I would prob leave the side the way it was broken but then i would break off the points on the other side to make the buck look more even

Leave it the way it was when you knocked him down. The only way I fix it is after the mount falls off the wall and shatters on the hard wood floor. You shot him for what he was, not for what he could be.

Other than that, leave 'em alone, in my humble opinion.
My thoughts exactly.
