Our season started off slow due to some unforeseen events, and really didn’t get after it until mid November, but this has been one heck of a season for us as a family. My oldest, Gavin, scored his biggest deer at 157 3/8. All 3 killed their first axis with bow and string with my youngest being his first deer. It was a short one, but one to remember. 157 3/8 MF 8 with a crab claw and a little trash. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/01/full-18696-440942-img_3320.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/01/full-18696-440943-img_3327.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/01/full-18696-440944-img_3422.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/01/full-18696-440945-img_1017.jpeg) Gavin’s first axis with bow. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/01/full-18696-440946-img_0876.jpeg) Grahams first axis with a crossbow. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/01/full-18696-440947-img_3176.jpeg) Garrisons first axis with a crossbow. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2025/01/full-18696-440948-img_3349.jpeg)

At some point in life its time to quit chasing the pot of gold and just enjoy the rainbow. FR

That big frame buck is totally awesome. I would shoot him in the morning, no hesitation.

A few measurements I recall.
20” inside spread
36” mass
24 3/8” mb on one side.
We had him between148-152 beforehand. 157 main frame 8 is crazy.

For anyone wanting to get their kids into bow hunting, I set both my oldest and middle child up on a mission switch which is a sister company of Matthews. These are great bows for beginners because they can grow with the bow both in draw length and weight.
