Get the points fixed. I have had two different mounts done and had the broken points fixed, and most of the time forget they were ever broken. They look great and show the buck in all his glory at his best.
The buck is an 8 point. He is a true 8.......with a broken tine. He isn't a 7 your adding points to, he's an 8 with a broken tine..........fix it !

RE: Fixing Broken Points -Your opinion`
It is really personal preference. I prefer to leave them as is, plus that is the way it must be scored. I know a guy who has the taxidermist put varnish on his deer's antlers to make it look darker and give it a shine. I think that it looks awful, but they are his trophies and he displays them the way he thinks looks best. I prefer au natural.
