I've hunted exotics several times. My largest trophy was a 355 lb red stag with 12 points on antlers. I've also hunted fallow stag and a female Pere' David deer (meat hunt). All these hunts took place on ranches well over 400 acres. I chose to hunt with my 30-30 carbine to make it more challenging to have a good shot within reasonable distance. I had a great time and brought home much meat. Sometimes discounted hunts are available for animals with broken antlers from fighting during the rut. It doesn't hurt to ask.

I have admired axis deer for many years but never hunted them. They're very numerous in Florida.
