What would you do with a buck that has a broken rack?

[boh347]

What would everyone do if your target buck got a little too rowdy during the rut and broke some bone off? Would you give him a pass till next year? Maybe a Euro? Or have him mounted with war wounds, just the way you shot him? Or how about have the taxi fix him back up?

I would let him pass hoping that the neighbors would do the same

Pass

[boy wonder]

The best overall buck I have seen on our lease (until this morning) broke his main beam just past the brow tine, about 4 days after shedding his velvet. I saw him several times after that and let him go. This was 3 years ago and he hasn't been seen since.

Depends on how bad it is, real bad I'd pass

[Tspurgin26]

Let him pass

[Speedgoat]

I would shoot the spike he runs with

[DoubleGProstaff]

Pass on him

[bowhuntntxn]

I would shoot him and grind the rest of the antlers off so he looked like a huge 6 year old spike, just to prove it could happen.

Or just pass on it.

[ShaBow]

I'd let him pass!Unless he just had a little broke off!

[WCB]

Pass

Depends on if the place I'm hunting on is garenteed next year and if there are anymore close to his size.

Me too.

Depends on what was broke off. A broken tine often just adds character to a rack IMO. I'd never consider having the taxi "fix" a broken point. If I don't want him on the wall just the way he was, I'll just pass. If the buck has massive damage (main, etc), then I would most likely give the old warrior a pass and hope to cross paths with him next year.
