I am attaching 3 pictures of a toad of an axis buck we have every year about this time— first are pics from one of my game cams from last year— the second are from a couple days ago next door to me. I havent checked my cams— its cold and raining today.
Any guesses on what this guy weighs? I know his horns are not great— long beams but crappy caudals and fronts — but still a lot of hide for a rug...

Looks like he got a jump on his C19 diet.
I might— I just have no room for him in the frreezer right now— we call him Blob
And no one has room in the freezer for that!
 
I have room in my freezer LOL!!!!
 
300 lbs? That is a uniquely fat animal. Looks like a Disney cartoon. I bet he grunts when he walks.
 
I think he might tip the Toledo’s at more than 3 hunsky he’s a portly bastard. I havent seen him person yet — but I suspect he likes groceries, so i could put a few bales of alfalfa out and i bet he would come running — or maybe twinkies and ding dongs
 
I think he's been hitting the mixed tandoori grill pretty hard. Consider calling him Axis Powers! Got a 210 pounder years ago and thought that was big nothing like the horse you have on your hands. You should consider using a 375 minimum with solids once you clear a path in the freezer...
 
That’s what happens when you feed them! I’ve got some nice ones in velvet now. Hoping to hunt a few this year.
 
Smooth. Suave. Debonaire. The ladies come to him during the rut. He doesn’t have to run and chase like those losers. :giggle:

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
