I had an invite for me and my son to go out and hunt a property not far from home for axis this past Sunday and we took full advantage of it. About an hour into the hunt I got my son in front of this bruiser of a buck and he made a great shot dropping it with his 6.5 grendel. We hunted hard the rest of the day and I passed up a lot of lesser bucks knowing the caliber of deer on the ranch but the heat and wind that day kept them in the shade.

I’ll be back in another couple of weeks to try again

Looks like a really nice buck. I’m assuming this is Texas? How is the axis population after the storm Feb 2021?
 
You would be correct on it being texasAxis population is still really good there was some loss but for the most part they faired really well.

can’t say the same for the blackbuck
 
Very nice. Great looking buck. Congrats

Most of my hunts are solo — just me, my rifle, and a good map. Sometimes I tag along with an old buddy for a week in Zimbabwe or South Africa, but more often than not, it’s just me.
Big fan of classic hunting — bolt-action rifles, old-school tracking, and taking the time to really be in the moment.
Just did a podcast, check it out if interested!
