The saga is over. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that the axis are gone. The bad news is that the larger one took a run at the fence and tore a hole is it about 5' off the ground and went through it so I have no measurement and Colton has no axis. His Dad took the smaller one. Still an enjoyable hunt with 2 fine gentlemen.

I also had a great time and it was a pleasure to hunt with Don on a truly beautiful ranch . It was also really neat to see all the really nice white tail bucks he had in velvet . There will be some spectacular hunting there this fall .
Thanks again Don for all your hard work .

Axis are one of the craziest animals alive. They are pretty, but they are very high strung and can fall over dead from the least little bit of stress. On our ranch I have to keep an area off limits to hunting. If not, when we have someone putting on a stalk for rams or goats the axis would be hitting the fences. We had a few that just stressed out and died. Now they can go to this sanctuary and hide.

They are doing well this year. Our big ram is sold(deposit put down), he is close to 38 inches. He will be used for AI breeding in the future.
