Don I'd love to see this deer growing out again this year. Did his leg heal up? Yes,the only time you can tell it was broke is when he runs. He walks good and it shows no sign of being messed up. He is getting old. At least 7 years old. I think his best years are past. But we shall see.

In for watching his growth again. With Axis if he is 7 or 8 he might still have his best antler years in the future unless having the broke leg messes with his rack. Be interesting to see what he does
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

It's amazing what less than a week will look like. Apparently they think the grass is greener on your side of the fence. You might have to thin the herd in a few years it they keep coming.

The part of the new antler you see in the picture are the brow tines. The main antler is behind it.

Looking good. I have seen the white streak/line on the antlers during velvet. My brother had a 33" axis in velvet they had a white streak from base to tip. I say "had" because it was in storage during his move and mice got to it. I never was able to be close enough to see the swirls when they are just starting to grow. Cool picture

He now has a couple of buddies that have jumped over my so called HF to join him. The 2 year old at the top lost his antlers yesterday. We shall see how fast they regrow if he sticks around. They should end up around 24 inches or so.

Looking good Don. I was out about daylight this morning and photographed a huge non typical Axis. It will be a least a month or more till I get back home to my computer where I can share a few photos off my camera. Thanks again Don for keeping this thread alive. It's the first thing I look for every morning when I log in. Take care sir. Roland

His brows are just ridiculous. He's gonna be something.

Good looking axis. If I remember right he had a broken leg last year. Maybe getting a little lopsided? Hope not.

He's looking very good Don, certainly hasn't missed any meals. Actually Roland the younger Axis that is now 3 years old has a much larger body that this one. They are not related so we shall see if his antlers are also going to be larger. That is unless he decides to leave.

THat buck is looking good this year. Agree he is about through growing forthis year, perhaps a little more on the main beams. The other points are getting sharp and the main beams are getting close to that case. Once the bulbous tine ends starts becoming more of a point the growth is abut over

The Axis that was a spike last year shed his velvet yesterday. He lost his antlers on 2-18-19. He had the shortest time of growing new antlers. The other two that lost their antlers before him are still in velvet. I learned something new.

I really don't know. Maybe just a little more than a WT Doe. But just like all animals some are bigger than others. There are a couple of Axis Does that are with these Bucks. They look about the same size as my WT Does are.

He looks great Don but honestly the pasture looks outstanding from the photo! Rain is a blessing!

We really haven't gotten that much rain compared to what others have. The tanks haven't caught any water in well over 6 months. Hopefully the coming week we will get some good rain.

After about a week he started polishing up his antlers. I really don't have any choice but he is working on my fences. So I am going to have to get rid of him. $2250 total. PM me if interested.
