We have lots of free-range axis in the Texas Hill Country. As others have said, axis meat is excellent! I often have axis and whitetails in my backyard which is just three blocks off main street. The freeze early last year killed a lot of axis but a couple nights ago, I had 17 axis in back including several fawns. Here's a couple pics.
