Tom, Looks like you had a great time. Nice deer and I might have to check the place out myself.
When people face the possibility of freezing or starving there is little chance they are going to listen to unfounded claims of climate doomsday from a bunch of ultra-rich yacht sailing private jet-setting carbon-spewing hypocrite elites

OK, I just contacted them, I've bene looking at Argentina but there's an issue traveling with firearms, and when I add the flight costs, it's about the same as Texas. Hoping to combine Axis and Blackbuck.

They should be able to accommodate that combo no problem. Hope you have a good time! Plus...you can bring home the meat!

Congrats Ingwe,
Great looking deer and I think anyone who goes to TX and doesn't have fun, isn't trying very hard. Like many others, Axis and Blackbuck is on my bucket list.

Congrats on a fine looking buck for sure and as you have shared with the group they are the finest eating venison you can get IMHO.. I started hunting Axis in Texas about 15 years ago to have something to do during the "offseason". I fell in love with these deer and I guess you might say I've become obsessed with them over the years. I've got hundreds of Axis photos and I'll share some if the OP is ok with me adding to his post. Again sir congrats on a fine buck. Elk

Carl, Thanks. I got home, cut up meat and found that Uncle Randy had mistakenly stuck my hides in my cooler. If the condition is OK on them, I'll have my local taxi do them. My horns are going to Uvalde for a European mount. The .223AI didn't get used. I took it out, checked it at the target range down there in 92 degree heat and fired one shot. Blew the primer.......H335. Don't let anyone tell you its not temperature sensitive. It will do the same here in a hot barrel or on a hot day....most of my hunting isn't on hot days... So I put it away and used the Icon .243 loaded with 4064...no problem of course. My exact finding back in 1996 when I built mine and used some of Steve Timm's data from VH. At the time I was living in Midland and it was hot. Bing... Varget..... 335 is as nasty as 748... won't find either around my table due to heat issues....
We can keep Larry Root and all his idiotic blabber and user names on here, but we can't get Ralph back..... Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, over....

Elk Been gone on a PD shooting trip,just got back but please, by all means, post some pics! Im already pondering my next Axis hunt! They are crafty devils and at least as far as outfitted deer hunts go, they are a screaming deal!

Keep 'em coming!
Ive been amazed while running around the hill country the number of exotics running wild and free. Especially axis, but a number of others. Seen a couple monster bucks in the headlights!

DF: The hell of it is that its legal to spotlight exotics in Texas.... I'll post one more photo with a quick explanation, As I mentioned I was living near Uvalde and was sitting on my back porch late one evening with the light off drinking a beer and looking at some of the days photos on my tiny camera screen. Well I kept thinking I could hear something in the dark but my hearing is so poor (too many years in a refinery) that I didn't give it much thought. My wife came out to see if I was coming to bed and she flipped on the porch light and this is what was looking at me. He froze long enough for me to snap one photo before he hauled it with a couple girls in tow!
