For any of you that might have any knowledge on the subject, I need to see what suggestions you might have concerning reattaching an antler to the pedicle for a European mount.
I've googled and youtube'd a few things, just want to see what some of you may have to offer. Any input is appreciated.

Go to a RC airplane shop and buy some thick super glue and bottle of kicker. Make sure you have it set and lined up perfect . Apply thick super glue to one surface, join, and hit with kicker. You can also order from hobby lobby, and several other online site for RC airplane.

5 min. 2 part epoxy glue. Put a drop a paint on top of the pedicel and align the antler back on top and take it back off. Each piece will now be marked. Drill a 1/4" hole down into the pedicel but not through it and drill a 1/4" hole up into the antler about 1" where the paint marks it. Cut one 1/8" rod that will extend into each hole but still allow it to come back to the original position. Put epoxy in those holes and the surrounding surface, put the 1/8" rod in, assemble the pedicel & antler, and hold in position till the epoxy kicks. The rod will give it extra support than just surface to surface contact.

Thanks, guys. These are all very good suggestions and have been noted. Going to get with my buddy- he's the lucky hunter- and see about getting this done for him.
