Well we finally got around to doing our first hunt on the ranch. It is 4500 acres high fence in rocksprings. it has been leased by 2 guys for the last few years and they have moved so this year we were asked to make up some of the cost. we were allowed to take 6 axis. 3 have been taken and we have a weekend open for 2 to 3 hunters. It will be the weekend of Aug 9th 10th and 11th. This will be for an trophy axis and you will be guaranteed a chance at a 30 + in buck. There are alot of axis on the ranch and there are bigger ones than the 2 in the pics below. One was 33 and the other was 34 1/2. There is a walk in cooler, food and lodging will be included, as well as the guiding, quartering, and caping. The hunt cost is $2500. This place has not been hunted hard all year only a couple hunts have been done. This place is beatiful and has been well cared for. It does not run hunts for buisiness and this is the first year they have allowed hunters to come in with us guiding. It had been leased, as stated before, by 2 guys and they took very good care of the place. Kinda short notice but had 3 guys back out last min. thanks for looking.

It is green for sure. Both of those suckers had great mass. they were both mature and heavy bodied.

Dang!
