Yes Sir!! Absolutely!! I am a huge fan of the forum and have enjoyed for many years. A lot the gentleman and ladies are ranch owners and sell hunts on the forum. Some way over priced and some with great deals. I look for hunts on-line 365 days a year. I am always looking for an awesome deal and when I run across one I go on a hunt. I can give you some help. First take a look at "A Place to Hunt Ranch.com". You can get an axis Doe for 300.00 an immature axis buck for 300.00 or a cull buck for 600.00. Not big trophy animals but if you are looking for meat its a great deal. Tell John Sheldon Luciano sent you. I know another guy you can take take a trophy axis for 1500.00 which sounds like more than you want to spend but he has an exceptional requirement. You take three axis doe for free if you shoot a buck to help him thin his herd. He has way to many axis doe right now. I spoke with another guy who has 3200 acres near Rocksprings free range and his axis doe were at a great price along with a lot of his other animals. I can post his number on here for you tomorrow. I think his Axis bucks were 700 and over 30 inches 1000. I have hunted several times with people I have found on Craigslist. I would stay away from cheap day hunts free range as most are over hunted. Go with a high fence if you are looking for meat and find a good deal. I look in the sporting section and look in San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas and all over. The forum here has some great places just have to look for a good deal. Make sure to look in the outfitters section also. I have an Iranian Red sheep hunt in two weeks. High fenced and up to 34 inches. 2k total. Huge ranch. Most places are 3500-4500 for a red sheep of that caliber. I shot a trophy Gemsbok for 3000 on a 20 thousand acre high fence in west Texas. I shot a 35 inch Aoudad for 2500 and a great hunt. The deals are there. Shot a beautiful 163 whitetail. 3k. Just have to look and for me my hobby at night before bed is on my iPad looking for hunts. Good Luck!!!

The prices you quoted are almost twice as much as he has budgeted. Also, since he wanted a buck instead of 3 does one has to assume that he meant something more than a spike.

Typically the only place you are going to find 3 axis deer in that category for a total of $500 is going to be a ranch that is over run and trying to thin their population. While that's possible, it's rare. Especially when does are selling at auction for 600-900 bucks.

Good luck.

Wrong! Axis does are selling for $300-400 right now.

Awesome! Then you sell him 2 does and a buck for $500. Geezus h. It's that simple

Is there any realistic way to fill an average-sized home freezer with Axis venison (two does or one buck) for $500 or less?
