I would leave it the way it was when I shot it. I don't feel right about making it into something I didn't see. If that makes any sense.

leave it how it was.....unless it broke when you shot it...like busted the beam or something wild...i know a guy that shot an AWESOME non-typical......running broadside when he shot...got there..the other side wasnt there...kinda sad.....but it wasnt there when he shot it.....still an awesome buck....absolute monster for our area...be neat to see it with the other side....but my buddy went to finish a buck off and pulled the shot in the excitment and blew the mainbean right inhalf......he had that fixed.....i agree with stuff like that...but if it was busted up when you shot it leave it alone..kinda makes me mad with ARs....has to have 4pts atleast an inch long.....last season i passed a buck....im pretty sure he had 4 on one side.....but they were all busted off nubs...

I was not suprised by every reply that said to leave it the way it is. I don't think I know anyone (in my hunting circle) that would have that rack repaired.

Just a fair question with predictable results.

Leave it. The one I got this year had one of his points broke, and when I get him back it will still be broke.

I would leave it the way it is. I have killed a couple that have had broken tines, to me it just makes them unique.

This one has a whole tine broken off behind the left G2. It would have been a double G2 had it not broken off.

The deer on the left in the picture has it's right G2 broken in half.

I would not repair it in any way. Whenever anyone saw the buck, I would get a chance to tell the story, because people would wonder
