Axis Does Heres another axis tidbit, axis breed year round. they have a peak breeding time in June and July but breed all year. the chances of you killing a doe and her being pregnant are very high so be prepared for the that when field dressing.

Axis DeerThat buck in the photo is a nice buck by all means but you really need to let him finish growing, i would look for one that is either hard horned, or if in velvet that is pointed on the tops. The buck in the photo horn tips are flat, a sign that he has much more to grow. I would say he is in the 20" range and would probably grow to 24"-26" range if allowed to finish growing. My wife and i shot these axis on a low fence ranch in the hill country. Mine is 32" and hers is 30". My wifes is in velvet but if you look at the tops of the horns they are pointed. There is no other animal i would rather hunt or eat, I hope you hunt goes good and keep us posted
