Not a problem -
That 7 point was a monster - bigger than my 8 point and much cheaper. Go figure 8-]
My hunt was $3000 (for a management deer - scored 148, dressed 155) and my daughter's was $2000 for a "cull" hunt. Yep, that 7 pt is a cull because he's 6 1/2 years old and he's only a 7 point. He dressed at 165. My daughter also shot a doe and a pig. I shot a pig as well. I tipped a total of 15% on top of all that.
All in all - two bucks that dressed out at a combined 320 lbs, a doe, and two pigs. This included 3 nights lodging and more food than you could really eat.
Not all culls are that nice but the sweet thing about that ranch is that nothing under 5 1/2 years old gets shot so you see some pretty good sized deer. On public land or a generic lease in Texas you'll rarely see anything over 3 1/2. You will but it's rare. Antler restrictions help some I think.
