Well Glen if you getting that old maybe you would be able to find this LOL.
Clue: hit the search button on the left and type in broken antlers.
Other wise here goes. There are a few ways of doing this. One is to drill a hole and useing 12-10 gauge wire epoxy a lenght into the antler. Make sure you ceter the hole, just works better. Cut the wire 1/4 smaller in lenght than needed. Mix up some all-game etc, with some yellow orche and some brown to get a close match to the color of the antler. Next from the mixture on the wire to shape the antler that's missing. After it hardens you may have to stain it. You can use many different stains on this, minwax, coffee grounds etc.
The other method is to make a cast of teh tip from the other antler and use this to replace the other one. Also a wire is needed to give you good support. Stain as in the above. Hope you can find this and read it. Hate growing old LOL
