What is a LF Book Deer Worth Financially?

**** Tim, you’re old! .

Your lease has produced some awesome bucks, but that might just be the very best one of them!

I don't know - there have been some other amazing bucks taken. We took an 8 point with a drop this year that scored 194. His G2's were 15 1/2 inches.

Now that Steve is back on the lease he needs to bring you as a guest - I will put a bug in his ear

PM me your email address and I will send you a pic

It cost a whole lot more than $15K to grow a LF net B&C buck!

It can. They also grow for free though too.

Not sure many grow for "free" - lol.

Even if you own the ranch they are never free. Even public land deer are not free.

you got that right - a true LF book buck is one in a million I have read - maybe nowdays the odds are a little better with management, etc. but it takes a pot load of $$ to produce world class bucks in a natural setting. Truth is South Texas is probably the best overall area of the USA to produce LF B&C book bucks on a regular basis

Agreed! We own our own place and have produced 3 net book deer in 10 years. I can assure you they were not “free”.
