wtnhunt Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Looks bigger in those pics than the truckbed pic, Frank. Last pic there really shows off the mass, especially at the bases. Cannot remember if this is the same one you had us guess the score on? They did a good job on the antler repair, mount looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted March 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 William this is the one you guessed on and just missed getting the Christmas gift card! If I added the repair work he'd go around 130 inches gross score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fly Posted March 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2012 Thats a nice rack, but I would have left it as is. Just curious if you would have left it broke on this one or on any mount that was broke? Reason? My view is as long as one has another side to mirror and get close to the way it really was then go for it. Taxidermy is all about making it look as it once did and at one time that antler was there.

If it broke after the hunter shot it, then yes a repair would be in order. I have many deer come into the shop with broken tines and 9 out of 10 the customer wants it left as is. It gives the deer uniqueness. Taxidermy is about preserving a memory, a hunt, an experience to be remembered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emcgehee Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 2010 Mount with antler repair I will agree! Also it tells a story and it makes you wonder just how he broke it. Likely fighting... It is true you have a few less inches of bone to how off, but I personally would not fix it. it shows he was a stud, and a fighter! Great buck either way, and the repair does look good.
