Nice bucks.. Been years since I shot one.. They were mostly killed in the hill country... They did not have a meat processor that could handle that job??? We had ours cut an wrapped and the job was reasonable and very well done.

We had ours cut an wrapped and the job was reasonable and very well done. I killed a buck and doe a couple years ago there and it's a superb operation. The butcher in town was great ( http://www.uvaldemeatprocessing.com/) but maybe the Pooba had to run away home to Montana and couldn't wait to get them done. I will certainly go back there.

It's been five years http://www.soehunts.net/exotics.htmlWhen I did it was a buck and a doe and all the pigs you could kill for the price. Three day hunt. I considered it a good deal. My brother and I with our bucks. ![[Linked Image]](http://i17.photobucket.com/albums/b52/gaepps/Hunting/gregallenaxis.jpg)

For some of the best hunts in The Hill Country look up The Johnson 805 Ranch. I took a very big Axis (just over 200 pounds and thick 32" main beams) and two pigs there. All the accommodations are nearly brand new and the owner, Dennis, is a great guy.
I'm shoot4fun on Accurate Shooter Forum and you can see my feedback there.

In addition we both shot does for the meat. He used a .260 with 140 accubombs and on the recommendation of many members I used my .243 TC Icon and 95 gr. NBTs.... Did we/they do you right? Yep! They did fine. I shot both deer through the shoulders rather than behind them, and on the buck, which was big, there was no exit. Wouldnt really expect one. Both deer expired within 25 yards.

That's a good looking buck, Ingwe. Axis is fine eating too. Congrats!

Nice bud. Still have a few beasts running around our place. If I weren't heading north on Sunday I would be up in a tree with bow.

Good question. I simply don't have the room for a shoulder or wall pedestal mount( which an Axis begs for...) so Im getting a European mount and getting the hides tanned as per my wives request. Ranch manager there is delivering them to a Taxi in Uvalde as part of the service...dont know what the taxi charges yet.... Ha, i had you figured as a Mormon all along. Wives, huh.

Is a deer....right? Just got back from Texas where a couple members turned me on to an excellent operation for Axis. 19K acres, free range, spot and stalk or stand hunting, no shooting over feeders. As good a hunting experience as Ive had anywhere, for any game. Spots on a "full-grown " fawn ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/IMG_1711_zps5g9hhl40.jpg) My pard's deer... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/Daves%20Axis_zpskrlywauo.jpg) My deer.... ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/IMG_1710_zpspyfh1zsy.jpg) In addition we both shot does for the meat. He used a .260 with 140 accubombs and on the recommendation of many members I used my .243 TC Icon and 95 gr. NBTs.... Surely not. Here on the fire everyone knows only women and first timers little kids can kill stuff with a 243.
