No doubt Axismaster you have a love for hunting and I applaud that. I think you have taken some great game. It's hard to believe this is the best place you could find to hunt. You live in Ohio where big northern deer roam, why spend the money for put and take?

I've shot small bucks and does and am perfectly happy with them. My first Ohio whitetail was a 3 point which was 4 years ago.

Most of our deer herd up here is dying due to a strange CWD-like disease.

I shoot a 300 WSM. most often but for whitetails I use a 12. Gauge.

Congrats on the deer. I wouldn't turn down those hunting opportunities either! Is Canada a hunting option for you?

I feel like beating my head against a wall. There are NO reported cases of CWD in Ohio.

Ohio Department of Natural Resources

He said "CWD like" probably referring to EHD.

But EHD isn't "CWD like", nor is it decimating the Ohio deer herds. From the same site.

There is no way that axis is 33"

Y'all happy now???

dont keep dancing for these guys, this place is full of guys ready to pull their ruler out.

you sound like a good kid and it sounds like u have enjoyed taking all of these animals. you have some great deer, deer that most of us wont ever have a chance at, congrats and just keep hunting.

What is your favorite animal to hunt?

Whitetail or Axis, anything really!

should of answered "anything my daddy will pay for"

Hardy flipping har!!!!!!

My head hurts. Kid are you a hunter or killer? There is a difference and I'm not sure you get it.

What makes you think the latter?

I see the fence in the background of one of your pics.

So?

I don't know what the deal is with some of the guys on this thread. All I hear is pure jealousy. This is a 16 year old kid who likes to go hunting with his father. I am sure most of you take, or at least would like to take your kids to the deer lease..should they have to pay for their own corn, or their portion of the lease fees? What if you have a family ranch that your 16 year old kid hunts at, do you make him pay to hunt there? What is the difference with this guys father taking him to a high fenced ranch so that they can enjoy that experience together? Most of you spend $1000's every year at the lease hoping to shoot a monster, but when Axis goes on a $3000 hunt he is suddenly spoiled? The kid makes good grades and his parents reward him for it, while making memories at the same time. This method is obviously working for them and I'm sure they expect that if he keeps the grades up he will be paying for his own hunts someday.

Yall are picking on a 16 year old kid on the internet...seriously.

Thank you sir!!!

Grown men telling him hunting is not about the antler size then dogging every animal he shows pics of because its not as big as he says.

Congrats kid. Keep hunting,You should be applauded that youre in the outdoors and not playing video games. I think the issue is that place is way to small for those animals, and they are just being put in there to be shot within days..

LIES!!!!!

I would say axismaster held his own pretty well in this thread and has put up some pictures of some great deer..... I am enjoying this thread
