Just an uneducated guess but I'd say between 31"-32". Nice buck!

Agree with the above for length, let your son shoot him. Good buck and good eating,

I'd say 28-30". Great mass.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

I agree with Baker, he'll go over 30"

I'd be surprised if he went over 28, but he's a great 1st Axis buck.

Thanks guys, thought he was around 30". Heading out this weekend. Will definitely post pics and measure if he takes a dirt nap.

Good deer. I'm not too good at judging axis tine length, but I'll agree that it would be one heck of a kill for your son!

It's Monday morning, did your boy take that Axis buck? How old is your son? No luck. Just found out theres new powerlines being put up not 400 yds from my feeder. Activity has been very minimal since work began. He is 9 yrs old. Here he is with an Axis doe he shot last September at the ranch.

That's an excellent shot on that doe. I'm sure he'll get a pop at him in a few months
