axis deer bagged

Well I made home after the hottest hunt of my life! All three hunters tagged out and we had the best time! My axis deer details; horns 35 in. tall, wt. 170 and the eye guards are 9 in. long. I am going to do a shoulder mnt. and tan what hide is left. They run a good show and to see all those axis come out of the woods like they do was so cool! Planning a trip down again for a FALL hunt for 2011. 

Good job Tina............ What ranch were y'all hunting down there? I am headed for an Axis/Blackbuck hunt this weekend around Abiline,Tx. I want one really bad. They are great looking animals.  Send us some pic's of your deer.

Hey Tina, I was wondering what happened to you, I thought you were going several weeks ago. So you liked the Brady Ranch huh?? Hot as hell down in this area isn't it?? I think the heat index hit 107-110 degrees here today. Glad you got your Axis and we are all looking forward to some pictures......please!!!

good job on the Axis, tina
and good luck on the combo, tx

tx; thanks! it was the Brady Ranch and let me tell all, whitetails, maybe a fw eyes, axis try about 300 coming out at the same time! Then your guide says ,if you cant get that one without one behind it and kill 2 I have to charge you for 2 bucks! Thank God mine came out by his lonesome! 90 yrds. and he went 20 yrs. before he dropped! mnept; I spent some time with our kids,it is Daytona ,and then went on the hunt! And I think it rocks we have the same b'day!!! Going to try to send pics,if it does not up-load , I will need to e-mail one of you!

I have heard alot of good things about that ranch and their massive amounts of Axis deer. If you don't mind, what was the hunt cost for your buck?

The Brady has 8000 axis on 2000 acres? Man that is incredible. Must be one behind every palmetto palm.   LOL

I think I saw something on this on the Outdoor Channel - they showed huge herds of axis in the palmettos

I'd love to hunt them some day

Headed to do one tomorrow afternoon at the Dos Plumas Ranch here in Tx. Combo hunt, Axis,Blackbuck and hogs.

yeah, and how did they make those antlers look like they were growing out of its head?

Axis deer is some of the, if not thee, best tasting venison there is. I sure hope you brought some of that meat back home with you!!!

Nice buck Tina. It is some of the best venison I have ever had. Runs close to my venison from Wi.  LOL Thanks for the info.

I'd like to try some one of these days - so far my favorite has to be pronghorn (or elk - just can't decide!)
