I was there for the adult exotic hunt which was right after the kids hunt. Let me tell you......those axis deer, along with the whitetails left the country! I know that 15 of the twenty hunters never saw an animal on that three day hunt, including me. All the corn and feed from the kids hunt was still on the ground. Nobody never even heard an axis "bark" or had any feed (corn) eaten during that hunt. Those axis know when to leave the hunt areas!

I really think there is only one herd in the park, I only ever see them up behind the rangers station where you make the turn to either old Garner or new Garner.

We saw a herd of 10-12 axis each morning as we were driving to our stand. I suppose they figured out pretty quick that when trucks are driving these roads, we're about to get shot at. Sorry you didn't have any luck. I hunted there on an adult axis hunt several years ago and had the same bad fortune as you.

Another thing. The permit says "Unlimited axis deer; either sex; limit one forked antlered buck." During our orientation, we were told that we could only shoot 3 axis total. One buck and two does. That's it !!! Another hunter mentioned this to the head honcho in charge and he said that they can change the limit if they needed to and that we had to obide by his decision. He said that if a hunter did manage to kill 3 exotics then he will take it into consideration for that hunter to kill more. But the smile on his face gave me the impression that we would be lucky just to kill one exotic. If you do ever get picked to hunt at Garner, do not believe that you will kill several axis deer. You will be lucky to get one. Out of twenty stands, two or three may produce. Once shooting and vehicles start driving around the hunt areas, the deer move out.
