I thought for sure this one was close to 40".  That's a hell of a deer Matt.

The picture that Elkhunter 49 took is the largest Axis i have ever seem. That Axis is one of those you could get some really big money for.

I think that monster is around 38", definetly the best Axis ive ever seen live or dead, the wide ones always make you think longer, heres a 38" my buddy killed last year when we hunted with Pope brothers, hes not real wide but was a stud. Its hard to tell in the pic but his horns went way back then come back forward not just straight up.

Shucks, I have people tell me all of the time that they see axis down the road that are 48" and 14 points. And they jump the 10 foot fence all of the time (the fence is 6 feet)

That is the biggest Axis I have seen alive or dead in my 40 years of hunting exotics. There is always a lot of talk about a 40" Axis.....yet to see it......Maybe this one?

That giant Axis was incredible to see in the field. He was just magnificent to witness and photograph. I wish all of you folks could have seen him with your own eyes as well. His image is burned into my brain forever

A friend of mine forwarded this pic to me of a monster Axis that came from one of the hunting groups on facebook, it *almost* looks a little photoshoped, but I dont really know.

Sounds like a lot of talk.....take him up on a guaranteed hunt and see what conditions he places on antler length.
