Monster Axis Deer Hunt!

"The biggest free ranging Axis I have ever seen"

-- Craig Boddington, Fall 2005

During the months of June-August which is considered to be the peak of the rut for Axis Deer we host Monster Axis Deer hunts. The state of Texas has more Axis Deer than India which is the country of origin for these magnificent deer. A true monster will typically weigh 250 lbs and have horns over three feet long making for an extremly impressive animal to hunt. They are known to be more wild than the whitetails. For those of you who are looking for an exciting hunt during the "off season" in North America this is truly a great adventure.
