But we've been Hunting with him for 6 years nearly 12 times

That place you've been hunting looks like a put-and-take place to me. I wouldn't go there again anyway if I were you.

I was looking at the pricing for a buck in the 170s at a place here in Texas and they wanted $6500, so I don't think your dad really got ripped off, just lied to.

not all shooting is hunting.

I'm on a phone, also. Of course, I pay for mine. Maybe that's the difference.

What i want to know is why your forum name is axis master, wheres all the axis you have shot in that 120 acre place you hunt on

he knows that ya'll can afford it

To the OP, if you're paying to shoot "Pure European Boar", you're probably about to get shystered again. That sounds like the biggest load of I'm sure they exist, but why anyone would actually pay money for that is beside me....

Master of the axis why don't you ask daddy to buy you a couple thousand acres for Christmas and start managing your own deer? If all this money you talk about like its a drop in the bucket I'm sure you could get some African and European hunts for your birthday and hunt these super exotics you talk about in there native habitats?

Tough crowd...

Awesome looking deer! will look god on a wall

Uhh none. I've hunted all my axis in central Texas

And DHR, I don't have the patience to sit that long for 12 hours on a plane.

And nope just got my boar. Furry as a mammoth

Well listen, he's obviously a kid and I can't fault him for hunting on daddy's dime. Hopefully one day his definition of a 'trophy' changes - and it's more about the experience than the measurement. I'm 47, just got my first Whitetail this season and he probably scores 120". I still get amped up thinking about everything that led to that moment. When you work hard for what you get youngman, you'll appreciate it so much more.

What does that have to do with anything?

Did you read what I said above? That place you've been going to is the worst sort of put-and-take place. You really need to talk your father into going somewhere else.

'Worst sort'. What makes you think so?

Up in Ohio we don't have the luxury of 1000 acres. We don't have the luxury of raising herds of African game due to weather.

You don't think the sort that rips you off is the worst sort?

Worst sort because on 120 acres they offer the following animals: blackbuck, eland, muntjac, nilgai, wildebeest, bison, water buffalo, watusi, javelina, hogs, axis, fallow, sika, whitetail, elk, red stag, angora goats, aoudad, arapawa rams, merino rams, black hawaiian rams, corsican rams, desert paint sheep, tahr, ibex, mouflon, catalina goat, Texas Dall rams, zebu, yak, and zebra!

That must mean they buy from breeders whatever the client is coming to hunt. This is put-and-take at its worst!

I'll bet you CAN find much larger places to hunt where they only have whitetails that live year round on the property.

This place claims they have 15,000 acres:

Sunfish Valley Whitetails

Actually I did. There was another place. It was one of the most exhilirating, fun, memorable hunts in my life. Took me 5 days before I finally harvested a 158 class 9 point. The deer bred out there and lived out there.


But I paid like $4500 or so for a 150's class deer at the place. DD had them for $1500-2000. My dad said it is better to his wallet.

I want to see pics of your axis

Which one?

Good hunts don't have to be expensive. Is it the hunt you're after or just a certain amount of antler?

the biggest one, if your the axis master and brag about all these monsters you kill i wana see a pic eith you and the axis

Why your just gonna rain on his parade no matter how big it is

Lol if its a big one i will not, but this my daddys $ can do this better than yall is getting old. Is axismaster and lil chit brothers !????
