Hello all,

First of all is T4 Exotics (or might be H4) operating? I heard they currently are not.. If so any opinions for axis?
Any experience with SOE?

I've done a lot of research along with searching this forum so I'd rather not get flamed for wanting to start a valid thread of my own. That said I am looking for a solo (as of now) 32"+ axis crossbow hunt around June. Exact dates don't matter as I am 100% flexible. Just want highest odds of hard antlers. What I do not care about is luxury accommodations, amenities, bass fishing, pool, paddleboarding, etc (I've been in touch with outfitters already). I want to kill an axis buck. Also don't care high or low fence because I understand them. Something like 3 days, 2 nights. I plan to fly in and drive home (South Jersey) for now but would much rather have the meat freighted back so I can fly but obviously that will depend on quantity and location in relation to a processor and if they can handle that. Also no kill, no fee. Hoping for unbiased recommendations from experience but outfitters please fire away too!

POI:

-Archery/crossbow
-32"+
-No kill. No fee
-Doe option separate or included?
-Hogs?
-Transportation from and to closest airport
-Not hunting a pen, but fence doesn't matter and is pretty much expected

Unfortunately, I heard Dean sold T4. I assume by no kill/no fee you mean you plan to pay a day rate and only pay a trophy fee if/when you get one?

DonPablo I probably should have put a question mark next to the no kill no fee. Some work that way, some take the daily rate off of the trophy fee and some a bit vague about if x amount is the final price regardless, some offer a trip back if the hunter doesn't succeed, etc. But I'm sure you know all of that. Just want whatever the deal is to be cut and dry, black and white

I have hunted with SOE before. Good group of guys couple different ranches , couple of them very big , pricing you have to talk to them , good people! The boys that PBGSO are also awesome I don’t think the ranches are that big though you have to ask. Hope that helps

Helps a ton Greyghost. I've been in contact with SOE and can tell they are great people and his price is perfectly fair if not better in comparison to others. I feel pretty good about them! I have PBGS on my list too.. Thank you sir
