    Got this buck in last week, the burr on the right antler about center of the skull plate is non existent. First one i have seen like this. I assume just glue the hide down? tips are appreciated
    anyone have a guess at what this guy scores?

    Depending on client, he could opt to have the rosette built back in, or the other suggestions are the way to go.

    No nails needed just glue it. After day 2 lift it back up and use super glue and done.

    How about taking a dremel and cutting away a shallow slot around that part of the crown so that the hide can lay down in it, then glue it good? Maybe that would be an option and wouldn't take a lot of time or effort.

    yep, no need for nails,, really, just glue it and forget it. I would thin the burr skin in that spot .

    Yep, no nails should be needed. I get alot of those in like that and that is the reason I use apoxie paste. Once the skin is in place, you can forget about it moving.
