Silver spurs and gold tequila keep me hanging on. Pretty girls and old cantinas give me shelter from the storm.

You should have shot it. You may never see it again or any others.

Just proves it doesnt take shooting something to make for a great hunt. I'm about to the point I enjoy hunting with a camera more than hunting with a gun or a bow.
Yes! A Weatherby does kill them deader.

They knew some were on there actually. It's a high fenced place around 1000 acres that had some On it when they got it. Not a lot of them on there from what he said. I was just excited to see one finally. I've never hunted anywhere with them so seeing one was great with me. He wouldn't have minded if I shot one but I was in no hurry. Just enjoyed a great hunt.

I had a big one jump over the hood of my truck on FM573 outside of Mullin just across Pecan Bayou. He was so close I could see his family jewels as he passed by. lol
They make ammo specifically for hunting for a reason!

I'm afraid if I saw that the business decision would go out the window.

Yup, that one would have had a ride in the truck bed. Lived in New Braunfels for four years, and would see axis around quite a bit. I have a space on my wall reserved for a 30+ incher. And great table fare as well. I prefer it to any other wild game I’ve tried (although Nilgai is on my to-do list).

I couldn't have passed that up I'd pass up whitetail to shoot axis any day.

So did you have the green light on the axis though, minus the business decision it was to cold to mess with an animal?
