Repaired Antlers and Replicas on the way!

By topheavy on Nov 4, 2009 | In Uncategorized

I finally got word that my antlers are completed! Rick's replicas are poured and painted and they will be shipped to us at the end of the week! I got the cashier's check sent off and I am as excited as a kid at Christmas.


These pictures show the missing drop tine on the left antler and the broken G3. I have velvet pics of the buck so Artistic Antlers in Wisconsin did the repairs as close as possible.


These pics show the repairs to the left antler, the G3 and droptine. I will rescore the buck when I get the antlers back, they should be in the high 190's as the broken rack scored over 185 gross. Jim Kindig will do the mount as he does all of my most prized trophies.
Did I tell you I am excited? The repaired antlers are on the way!
