Late October Axis buck. Estimated at 7+ years old by ranch owner who owned property for 6 years. Main beams - 32.5" x 31.75" Tip to tip - 20.5" Brows - 14" x 13.25" Bases - 5.75" Caudals - Non-existent Guide only saw this buck twice on the hoof in 6 years. We hunted him from sun-up to sun-down first day, crawling up and down hills, through thick cedars and could never get on him. 2nd day was shaping up to be more of the same, so we put out some alfalfa, corn, & protein, and set up a ground blind about 100 yards away from our bait stations. He finally made a fatal mistake at 430pm. DRT with my 30.06.

Nice buck, I gotta go do that some day. Whitetail hunting just hasn't been as fun, since I went Axis hunting during the rut......Love hunting Axis!
