Putting back together the pieces?
« on: October 18, 2013, 02:30:16 PM »
I got a deer that rolled a long ways down a steep chute and it got busted up real bad.  I will try to attach some pics.  I found a few of the larger pieces of antler, but no where near all.  I also got a so-so picture of him from my phone before the shot.

So the question is, is this something that can be 'fixed' or at least made to represent how nice of a blacktail buck I got this year?  Any advice or recommendations on where/who may be able to help me out would be appreciated.

I am in Skagit County, but frequently travel to the Stevens County area.

Thank you

Good luck, stud buck.

Any taxidermist (I imagine) worth their salt should be able to fix it.

Anyone?
Kindly do not attempt to cloud the issue with too many facts.

Tricky fix that just any taxi can't do.  A good horn repair taxi can rebuild it however you want, or remember it as.

A talented hand, a couple of metal rods, some epoxie sculpt and a little touch up stain can get him looking like new.

let me know where you got him and I'll go up and look for the rest of it  :tup:

my brother had an antler brake off last year from the same thing. the taxi did a good job reattatching it. so you should have some hope.
People get offended at nothing at all. So, speak your mind and be unapologetic.
