antler repair

treedagain · Nov 16, 2012

anybody know of a taxidermist who is good at repairing/rebuilding a whitetail rack. i was lucky enough to harvest a 165 class buck in nebraska last week but he is in need of some major repair on one of his main beams.

I'd guess because he wanted to and now he wants to fix it up?

If you're in northern Utah shoot me a pm and I will tell you who did a good repair on a busted rack I shot because I wanted to and subsequently wanted fixed and got fixed with stellar results.

Shame on you treed for wanting to repair YOUR buck! Some people crack me the hell up. Good luck on the repairs and make sure to post pics of finished mount.

You had it right when you emphasized the YOUR part Sparky. Not your problem. It is his and so why should you lose any sleep over it. No shame is required. He did not know that the worlds foremost doctorate of antler do's and don'ts would bless his thread with your devine.majesty. I've seen it all.

LAST EDITED ON Nov-17-12 AT 10:11AM (MST)[p]I guess I need to work on my sarcasm

My above post was in response to horseshoer25 comment. Anyways, congrats on a hell of a nice whitetail and please post up a pic of finished mount.

Also, those Swaro 15's I bought from you last year have been the demise of a lot of critters this year

See ya!

mlycrzy glad your putting those 15's to good use...

First off, you should not even think of using a taxi that cannot repair/replace/duplicate, antler issues. Basic stuff for any experienced "stuffer".

.....and I personally would have it fixed if it were mine.

wrong......and stupid"

I can fix it, Im a muley man, but dreamed of takin a good whitetail, i went to canada and out stepped a 175 buck, my first shot blew his heart out, but he ran like i missed! My second shot hit him in the back of the head and blew the right antler off just past the browtine, he flipped and hit the ground so hard he broke his left side off just in front of the browtine. I walked up and found what was now a spike. I picked up all the pieces and brought them home, the skull was destroyed by the shot, so i repaired the antlers, cut them off below the base, and attached them to a muley skull, it turned out great, took some time but you cant even tell.

RockMtHigh · Nov 17, 2012

I would be happy to fix it for you no charge, im in utah, let me know if i can help!

SureShot · Nov 17, 2012

Do you have the other side of the antler, or are you just going to make up something comparable?

treedagain · Nov 20, 2012

i do not have the other side, he was busted off when i i shot him. i plan on mirroring the other side minus the cheater
