What is a LF Book Deer Worth Financially?

[Mexdeer19]

I know a guy who offered $30k for a deer that grossed to 211 and would easily book at right around 200. It was a lease deer and not for sale

I would have to say from what I see on rates pages of some of these low fence package hunt ranches that a straight up 170 net is roughly $10,000 to $15,000. Now I am only going by what I see when I look at the hunting rates pages of some of these ranches.

a free range book deer could likely be sold for 15-20K pretty easily IMO. A true, net boone and crockett, not gross.

Exactly what I'm talking about, net and your name goes in the book.

I'd be willing to pay a daily rate then trophy free of $100/inch on the net sore for 170-180. Even more for beyond 180". My guess is finding something like this would be very hard unless the operation just released a bunch of RFID chipped deer from a pen into a LF pasture. Not sure the total number of all time book typical bucks but the last time I look I think only a dozen or so have netted above 200".

Its rare. I interested how many folks on the green screen have killed a net 170" fair chase buck and have their name in the good book of B&C.

I haven’t killed one personally, but my dad and uncle have each killed one the last two seasons. Uncle killed a gross 204” that netted 199 7/8” non typical. My dad killed a gross 182 6/8” that netted 172” as a typical. We have owned our place for 13 years and have killed several big deer but these two were the only ones we have produced that have put a name in the book. Not that they were ever for sale, but with the rarity of producing these animals on a low fence ranch, $15K wouldn’t have bought either one of them.

So sounds like through most opinions 15k is about right. Appreciate the feed back.

On a ranch that produces bucks like that, its normally $300 per inch above 145-150 and then the price jumps up again after 180 or 185, generally.

On a ranch where a monster just shows up, the price is whatever can be negotiated, probably $6k-$15k

Ok soooooo you got one for sale or you looking to buy? Come on spill it man. Pictures are always good too

I have 4 net B&C low fence, officially scored but not entered bucks...[ maybe one more, I'll have to look ] I hope to never know how much they cost me to grow them

[Traildust]

Less than an elk hunt.

Well to be honest I have a good friend who's telling me to come shoot one for free. Appantey it's a trashy deer. He's getting older and could care less about killing deer, and has enough money to buy pretty much anything he wants.

If I do take him up on it I'd like to get him a really nice gift. Not 15k worth for sure but possibly something he would enjoy.

I have no pics yet, just what I've been told. If I kill him you'll see plenty of pics

Luckyyyyyyyyyy

For someone that can afford anything, I’d say really good whiskey and/or cigars for sitting around the campfire

I need to find friends like yours!

170" LF deer is worth 7500. 200" 15k.

You're way low.
