Axis prices can vary. I will try to compare whitetail trophies with axis. A 30" or better is considered a trophy. I would compare a 30" axis to a 130-140 class whitetail. A 35" would be a B&C. 98% of axis have 6 points. Any more are considered atypical and very rare. This is not to say that a 28" is not a decent trophy. Ask what your outfitter/guide considers a trophy and the price. Prices for a, pretty much guaranteed 30+ trophy, start around $2500. A place where you might get a 30+, but probably won't, expect 28 or so, expect to pay $1800-$2000. Remember these are trophy prices only. I will say this; a 28" axis makes a pretty decent trophy. Under that not so much. Most guides are honest and hard working and will try their best to put you on what you want. I might suggest that you spend the first half day just looking, if you hunt high fenced. That said, if the guide says "shoot it, it's a whopper!" Shoot it.
Prices also vary on lodging from you stay in hotel and the guide picks you up, to converted farm houses, to luxury lodging and meals with a pool and WiFi. Guide fees probably $250-$300 per day, for both of you. Sometimes these are included in lodging or trophy fees. Captdavid
