http://s1304.beta.photobucket.com/user/farmer45/media/image.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0I killed this buck in Sonora, Tx on my lease that I've been on for 3 years. My taxidermist scored him at a 148" and If he wasn't broken off that he would score a 152". Figured i would share it with yall.. this is a (low fence) axis

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy much nor suffer much, b/c they know not victory nor defeat"- #26 TR

I hunt 20 miles east of Sonora off of Baker Road. I am loading my chaffhaye in my truck tomorrow headed that way hoping to get an axis buck. That's one nice buck.

Had one come to the feeder this evening. Was in velvet right before where his caudals would come out. Brow tines had to be 12" in velvet. He will be a shooter this spring. Gave me more of a buck fever that these WT do!
