I’d love to do it once. For a 75% chance of success, I’d be a little less likely to gamble. At 75%, I’d pay a day fee of $100 and a kill fee of $1500 - 2000. That’s about what I spend on a lease each year with a 20% rate on any deer. I enjoy the hunting more than the trophy but I would like to do it just to say that I’ve done it. High-fence/low-fence/no-fence doesn’t particularly matter that much to me. I’d like to try a few different styles of hunting all at the same time. (Spot and stalk, blind/stand).
From recent history, a 190” is about $10K but I think that was 100%.

Paid $2500 in IL, $1500 in OH. Was a 75% chance of kill, but no guarantee on what. Unless it’s a pinned up deer, you take what comes. Also, these weren’t on feeders, it was over corn/soybeans in OH and a cutover in IL.

I've been working this very goal 15yrs now on the current 7k acre hf ranch we've been on... sure one or more has been out there to take every year but this whole misconception of being a hunt like some sort of fish in a barrel shoot is the biggest pile of internet crap ever conceived!! sticks in my craw to still see comments about fair chase superior sportsman who won't acknowledge the variables of difficulty between hunting circumstances. HF is no guarantee
Embarrassed & apprehensive to even consider adding up the jack spent...albeit worth every cent. The $$$$ spent isn't about the trophy anyway. More about the time in the field. Mounting a 170 is just an addy & hope it happens this year

I’m not going to pay to go sit in a blind that someone else has done all the work. Now if I get to scout and do my own setup I still wouldn’t pay more then $500 and it would have to be at least a 5 day hunt. I realize no place is going to have a 5 day hunt for a 160 buck for 500 with a 75% chance. Now I would pay $4500 to get on a year round Lease that has a 75% chance at a 160 buck but the difference is I get to hunt year round and kill multiple animals. While I do like going after big bucks, I like the hunt more then the horns.
