I've caught, and had my hands on A LOT of Axis deer... I'd have to agree with some others, that's a STUD no matter the angle.


No doubt!

Had one like him I was going to let my daughter whack in 2003. I knew where he would be so we set up on him at 0430. Sure enough when it came light he emerged. Turned out, he had but one antler beam. She decided to wait until the following season. We never saw him again, though we had seen him several times annually since our first encounter.

I called him Goal Post. He had to be 40" at least. Learned after the fact that if Axis experience a late freeze after antlers are shed they will either have stunted brow tines or only one antler beam for that year. The Axis she did whack that day had stunted brow tines and both beams were otherwise normal.
