I am postingpictures of my 2004 and 2005 Oklahoma muzzleloader bucks both of which have broken points.The 2004 buck gross scored 178, and the 2005 grossed 140. First of all, I watched both deer before I pulled the trigger and had no idea that anything was broken, but I find it hard to believe that you oranyone here would pass on either of these bucks because of broken tines.

Where in Texas are you hunting that has an abundance of 140" deer? I live and hunt in Nacogdoches, and on my place a 140" is a trophy.

I went back and read your posts on the Fair Chase thread, and I understand where you hunt now. I have hunted places around Cotulla and Dilley since the mid 1980's, and all of south Texas is not filled with 140-160 class deer. Good luck and happy hunting, I am out of this discussion!

I would not rebuild the rack. I shot a buck this year, certainly not a booner that had his left side broken above the brow tine so I had him done as euro mount and he looks cool. He was a fighter in the woods and as I honor him now he will stay the same. (see birthday buck post 11-05)

i don't think that i will ever change a deer that i shot.i want to remember the way it was when i shot it.i would just feel like i was cheating.please don't get me wrong i don't think its wrong or anything or don't think that it doesn't look good but just that i would never do it.those who do it, it can look good, but i wouldn't do it.

It would depend on the rack. I see no shame in wanting him in his full glory. There are no rules on this so it cant be cheating. I passed an 8 pointer that had four tines over over 12 inches with the G2s being over 15 inches. When I finally got a chance at him he had broke one of the G2s off so I let him go. The bad part is he got killed in gun season.
But yes I would in some cases have it fixed.
