Nice Tom. I counted and took pictures of 34 axis in my back yard two days ago. Three bucks, the largest about like the one you shot. Ed I caught your thread on the bear hunt....maybe next year will be your year! Until then, you have the grizzly in your office to keep you company!

Excellent job. They're awful pretty and so damn good to eat I'll keep going back for more! Pugs, the ranch has a new 5 star cook! Fantastic! And getting to meet, hunt, and spend time with Big Mike was worth the price of admission. I was IMPRESSED with that dude! Big Time.

Understand it's been slow going.

I was lucky enough to tag along on this hunt, Mike, Uncle Randy and crew are the best, and run a top shelf program, was able to tag out on a couple Axis deer and a nice black sow. It was a very nice pre summer break, now back to work. Many Thanks for the invite Poohbah.
Trump Won!

It was a pleasure Gunner...glad you could make it. I'll be having some Mrs. Gunners blackberry jelly on my english muffin this morning. With you, Mike and Randy it was about as good as a camp gets!

Outstanding pair of animals Tom, well done sir!! I'm glad your trip to Texas was a success. You're in for many many fine meals with those two animals. Did you take any field shots that you can share? I finally firmed up a few days in early July to hunt an Axis with a buddy of mine from West Texas!! I can't wait. Take care, Baker

Cool beans! there oughta be a lot of hard horns out in July! I just spent the day cutting and wrapping meat, the axis was big in the body and carrying a big layer of fat! Also got more meat out of the blackbuck than I expected. Tomorrow I cut and wrap the Oryx.

Been wondering how your trip went Poobah.....a very, very nice hat trick there sir! I don't know much about them really, but that looks like two great trophies with that blackbuck and axis. Congrats big time. Sounds like a great camp considering gunner tagged along. Thanks for sharing the great pics.
Please let us know which one tastes best....seriously.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Tom it sounds like a good time was had by everyone. Did you keep Gunner out of trouble?

Did you keep Gunner out of trouble? Yep! He was too tired from my snoring keeping him awake to get into trouble!
