Default Broken antler mounting options...

I discovered recently that my first and only set of antlers have been run over by a friend of mine The antlers are actually totally fine, apart from a split in the skull. They poked some nice big holes in my friend's tires though. I'm more than a tad disappointed. I really want to mount these.

What I want to know --- is there any good way to join the antlers back together for the purposes of mounting? Remember, the antlers didn't actually snap - just the skullcap that connects them. Anyone had this happen before?

They will be fine. Line them up on the split ,to the approximate dimentsions that they were and fiberglass back together.

Or you could just let the Taxi guy do it when he mounts the head, either way it will be fine
