It seems to me that the prices arent to bad as long as you have good looking deer. If you have a junk mess 200 and a beautiful 180 I would think that the the 180 would deff sell better so if i was a perserve owner i would be willing to spend more on the 180 than the 200.

Those don't look very typical to me 
"Score still does matter"
Within a category or 2 a typical wider deer will more often than not bring more money than a non-typical. However a 300 inch deer will usually bring about twice as much (or more) than a 200 inch deer. No matter how they look.
That goes back to my question. Would you rather have a pen full of 200 or 300 inch shooters?
Sometime the "Breeder Market" goes off the map one way or another.
Hunters like all types of deer. Tall, wide, massive, typical, non-typical, 8 pointers, 10 pointers, 12 pointers, and yes 40 pointers.
Thats the real lure of the whitetail. They are like snowflakes with no two being exactly alike!

Personally I will still will take the typical 200s...will always be easier to get rid of. Want my deer to look like deer....not freaks. To each his own. But, with deer you never know what you get and if we get a freak...I guess he will just be worth more money to some. You just never know...that's what is so fun about it!
The deal with the one group of bucks was if you bought all his bucks he would bring them to you.I think there were 5 bucks in that group over 200.
Just returned from the Ohio sale seemed like good turn out. Kevin worked very hard to help buyers understand the value of consignments. I purchased 5 lots thanks to the sellers.
