Awesome pics Ingwe....
Big Axis is on my list for sure. Not going to Africa this year so maybe I'll go after one in April or May, not sure when is the best time, as I want a hard horned Axis.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

A big old Buffalo are on top of my list but looking at the prices these days I suspect it will remain only a dream! Second is a 40"+ Sable Like this one?  ![[Linked Image]](http://i560.photobucket.com/albums/ss45/thmsbrownlee/014_14-1.jpg) Wow that was mean..... Just kidding buddy that's a beautiful animal and exactly what I'm looking for. "I have a dream"

No worries....Elkhunter49 knows I covet his big Axis......... Is that what's known as a double-intender?
A wise man is frequently humbled.

To shoot a big, rutty, sumbitch in Canada.
A hunt on Anticosti Island.
Camp is where you make it.

Actually, what I really want is to live somewhere where I could have a reasonable expectation of getting a buck on public land during rifle season. If such a place still exists. I'd trade all those hunts I want to go on for that. No bucks on public land in Pa? Calling BS on this. We've had a camp in Pa. hunting only State Forest land for over 60 years now, and I never remember a year when there wasn't at least one buck hanging on the game pole. EFW shot a nice buck from our camp last fall. Now did I say there are no bucks on public land in PA? No, I didn't. And what's one buck on a game pole for a crew of guys ? The other thing you don't understand is PA is a big state and I'm in the most heavily populated side of it. You're not. You don't hunt SEPA public lands. You don't see the orange army. It's always funny to see a guy bitch about where he hunts and how over crowded it is...but won't go hunt anywhere else.
Camp is where you make it.

I'm just a former private land hunter who has been forced onto public land and is having a tough time navigating my way around the orange army. Nothing wrong with PA public lands I just have to find the right one. ...and stop letting your mourning over a lost spot stop you from making the most of each season... get out there and DO IT MAN. We're all getting older and its more of a challenge each season... until we're not, and our seasons are behind us. A buddy of mine says "If you've got one foot in the past and one foot in the future you're doing nothing but pissing all over the present!" truer words have never been spoken.

June is your Huckleberry for big hard horned Axis in the rut. ( doesn't affect flavor of meat, and the vocalizations are something to hear!)

Good advice for sure, go in early June if possible before they start breaking off their brows
