Just wondering what a buck I sold at a hunting preserve would go for, the amount I would recieve when delivered. The buck scored around 190, was 32 outside and 31 inside spread, had 7 1/2 inch bases, 26 mainbeams and an extra main beam below his left one, switched computers and dont have a pic to put on here. Thanks.
what would this animal be worth as a shooter

Whatever you sold it for you can figure that it sold for at least double that or even more.Some i see get up to 2-3 grand but im sure all are different with the way things are in todays world!!

I would think you would get at least $3,000 - 6,000
Spread and mass numbers alone doesn't count for anything. All that matters is the total gross score. So you will be looking to get paid for a 190 class buck. Prices are down but you should get at least the $3000 as elusive whitetail stated.

It is apparently worth the price you received, or you would not have sold it. If you fish around, you can find prices for these type bucks to have a wide range and you will never be able to tell if you sold it too cheap. Just be happy you made a sale and hopefully a returning customer annually.

1. When you say around 190, do you mean 189 or 191? If scored 5 times by 5 different people, what would be the least score anyone would give it? A score in the 180's is much different than a score in the 190's.
2. I would have to have a picture. Does the extra main bean give it an un-even look? Every thing else sounds really good with good shock value!
3. Did you deliver it? And if so how far? If not you then who and was there a charge for that?
4. When did you deliver (Sept, Oct, Nov). Was it out of velvet or cleaned off nice? Did they request it at a certain time or did you really need to get it off your place for some reason?
5. Did you tranquilize it? Or live load it?
6. Was it sold by itself or with others?
7. Was the paperwork good including a scoresheet?
8. Had you sold deer to them before?
9. How long did you guarantee the deer healthy?
10. If the deer died for some reason before being harvested, did you offer any help?
11. Did the deer have any big tags and where legal were they removed?
12. How was the body condition of the deer?
I can think of some other questions I'd have. Score is very important but there are many many things to consider when a preserve owner makes an offer on an animal. The days of shooters being in short supply and the grower setting the terms of the sale are over. A 190 inch buck offered to me at an auction where I don't know the answer to any of these questions (especially the real score) will get my lowest bids. But an animal offered by one of the breeders I really trust delivered when I want it will bring them the most money!

Sam I think You hit the nail square and center this time. Especially the delivery and health guarantee of the animal. If the preserve buys the animal and it dies the preserve owner just cost himself double. Lost a pile of money and maybe a customer.
