Title: Putting back together the pieces?
Post by: shredneck666 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

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

Anyone?

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.
