Originally went out for Whitetail on opening day and had this Axis buck come through a wooded with a couple of Axis does. Just about a 75 yard shot with my Remington 5R. We have them come in occasionally off an adjacent property that borders the Perdanalis River. This buck went 31 inches and is still in full velvet.

Congrats, that dude has some length on the brows. That will make a great mount.

Nice axis, exception brows and nice even cottles. Good choice, I'd take an axis over WT any day of the week, and twice on Sunday.

Nice axis, terrible Rule #1 violation.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Beautiful axis. I'm curious how you plan to mount it... Or if you will mount it I guess. I just shot a similar looking one at 27" in velvet and began to realize some taxidermy places can't handle it.
Mine is done now, took it to Lindley's taxidermy in Harper. The guy who picked it up for me said it turned out great. But I haven't seen it yet. So hoping for the best. They used methanol to treat the antlers.

Nice axis, terrible Rule #1 violation. Please don't shoot yourself in the stomach or kidney. Watch the muzzle!
