Fixing broken points...

[Fletch]

How does everyone feel about fixing a broken point on a rack before having it mounted... My 2016 Illinois buck had a broken point and my friend wants to fix it before mounting it... I'm up in the air, yeh it will look better, but that's not the deer I shot.. So whats everyone's feelings?

Personally, I'd leave him like he was when you shot him. Now if he took off after the shot, ran into a tree, and busted his rack up I'd get it fixed. Pretty sure your buddy is trying to use you as his guinea pig [emoji23]

I’d say leave it, that’s what makes it your deer. Just my 2 cents

I would agree with what has already been said.

Yeh.... I'm leaving it.... Chad,,, No guinea pig... He'd have his taxidermist friend do it... Cant even tell as he does a very good job....

I would leave it as is also. I passed on my target buck a few years ago because his G3s were broke. Those were the 2 tines that made him special. Everyone said it could be fixed but he wouldn’t be authentic.

Yup...just imagine the size of the buck that broke that point.
