    One my deer heads in my office fell off wall while construction was happening on the other side of the wall.

    About a 1/4 inch broke off. I haven't even seen it or know which one it is. Is this something some super glue could fix? Any ideas on best way to re-attach?

    Most taxidermy supply stores have antler repair kits.

    Here is a link to a kit at Van Dykes.

    Yeah it contains a two part epoxy and some stain. I used it to plug a bullet hole in an antler. It pretty simple and looks good if you take the time to do it right.

    You ask how to reattach the piece in your post, so if you still have the broken off piece, then just use a drop of a two part epoxy that has a set time of 1 minute. That will absolutely work, and if you do it right, you wont even see the repair. Cost around $3-$4 at Menards. Plus, you'll have some epoxy for future use if you find a need to glue something else. Would it really be worth buying an antler repair kit for 1/4" of antler?
