Axis Hunt

[haztech3]

Never been to KJO but hear great things about it. I have been to Boazmans Quatro B in Hondo and for 600 you can shoot any buck on the place and no extra kill fees. I saw several nice axis bucks while i was there just wasnt there to hunt them.He has Sika , Black Buck, axis , and Fallow bucks. Him and KJO are the cheapest by far i believe ...but you pay when you hit the door regardless if you harvest an animal or not. Most other places charge a minimal day hunt fee and then another kill fee usually around 1200 -1500. Not everybody but most. If you dont kill you dont pay...so that is the trade off for cheaper hunts.

I'm having a hard time with your math.

Double arrow is $1850 for a 2 1/2 day axis hunt.

777 Ranch is $300 per day plus a $3,000 kill fee. How is 777 Ranch cheaper?

Last I remember an Axis at both places (YO and 777) was about $1800 plus about $200 a day which includes food and drinks. As I said that's what I remember. If you looked it up, good for you!

Either way the MATH on double arrow is %50 deposit which would be $925 and you kill or wound it's double that.

I would never pay a ranch $925 for a weekend hunt and considering this guy is on a budget, I doubt they'll be getting his business either.

Jmh05 and ken, I appreciate the suggestions and interest.

Unfortunately, doublearrow, YO and 777 are out of the price range.

I'm not looking for a trophy axis to brag about. I just want to kill an axis buck. I'd be happy with a yearling spike (if they grow spikes I don't know, just trying to make a point).

Thanks for all the suggestions, folks! I've got a couple of leads. Please, keep 'em coming!

And, angelalt returned your PM.

Great ranch, great guy, and NEVER had a bad time there. And he has some HOSS axis bucks..........

$500, 2 day hunt, no kill fee, no hidden fee

^^^^^^Exactly what he said

[bucksnducks]

Just thought of something. If anyone has pictures could you post some up of decent Axis bucks. I'm looking to gauge the sizes of antler and body (and what to look for) in a mature buck. I'm not looking for pictures of trophy size animals only the average mature Axis.

Thanks, everyone!

i think the bugscuffle ranch has great exotics, i know they have HUGE axis i have seen some when we shoot 3d there. also they are a sponsor. Bryan and Debbie are world class as well they will take care of you.

I plan to visit the Bug Scuffle this year at least once, if not twice. Great folks and great hunting.

On a budget to get axis meat and a cool trophy, don't rule out an axis doe hunt. Get the beautiful hide tanned and hang it on the wall or something. That hide is cooler, in my opinion, than a spike or small rack.

ill throw the Double L ranch in there too. I shot a nice axis and passed on many other good ones when I was there. For the price you cant go wrong with Diamond C or KJO though

There is a link on Drenalin Junkies post. I will be there for my second trip this weekend, I'll let you know what I see.

[bucksnducks]

I personally got tired of spending half or a third of what you would to a day lease place and coming home empty handed. We still had a good time no matter what, but I would rather save some more money and pay a couple hundred bucks if I don't shoot and have the same great time. Double L is set up like that. Good luck!
