I shot my first axis last week while hunting with Mike McKinny, W.T.H.O. Tyler Wilson was my guide on this hunt. Had a great time and they went out of their way to make it happen!

What was his length on antlers? Hard to tell with the pic. Look's like maybe 18" with velvet.

Never argue with an idiot. They drag you down to their level then beat you with experience.
