I've never personally had it done but the guy who has done a couple deer for me, has done it and you cant even tell anything was broken!

I used to repair antlers at a local taxidermy studio. The repairs are fairly easy, especially when its just chew marks. The real artistic ability is in the painting of the repairs. I wasnt very good at it but the taxidermist fixed any problem areas I had. They usually look pretty realistic when finished so dont be nervous. Many of my repairs ended up going on shoulder mounts and you couldnt even tell which tines were fake. Handle them with care though, the paint and the clay stuff will scratch even after several coats and setting up.

? replica charge?

The guy that's fixing the rack wants to make some replica's after it's fixed. Should I charge him? If so, how much$??? Will that further damage the rack?? Do I ask for a copy of the replica?

No picture software on my computer

My wife says that to post pictures I have to have the software on my computer. I didn't take any pictures of the rotting carcass anyway. I'll be sure to get some after it has been fixed though! I just started with this website about a month ago. I guess I'm behind? I got some other real cool pics to post as well.

Ive seen this happen and from the ones I saw you couldnt tell the difference if it was normal.
