Axis Questions

Dang! With those running around I wouldn't care if I ever seen a WT again!

I have a big population of both on my place and the axis will define they push whitetail off of a feeder especially when there's more than one axis coming in.

Those bucks all look really massive both in body and in antler mass. Very nice looking bucks. Good luck with the "problem".

I can't help with your question, but I DO need the coordinates of your lease.

From these pics I would say pics 1,2,and 3 are the same buck. Note the short right cottle and the longer left cottle, and the bladed beams. Axis can be deceiving at different angles. I also think pics 4 and 5 are the same buck. That last buck is definitely the best one. Good luck!

I had a place just north of boerne ( sisterdale ) area. Lots of free range axis there. 300 acres. Tc pics showed the whitetail quick to move out when the axis came into the scene.

On stand saw the same thing -- but, at least they both got their share at my place. Both were nice to have when it came to season for WT. Whatever cloven hoof was getting a carbon injection no matter the flavor ! - c

Have another friend his in laws have 300 acres off of sisterdale road sabinas creek ranch. Seen some good axis out there to bad they dont hunt it.

Now tgat I look at it you might be right on 1 through three but4 and 5 are two different bucks I have other pics of 5 turned to the side and he is slick on both sides and he has no where near the main beam length as 4. I think we are going to ground check em. monday morn we will go live on em. Then we will be up there sept 20 that weekend to hunt the whole weekend. Please follow thread and hopefully we will have on or two down.

Thanks Chance, I thought the same thing two about pics 1 and 2. Look at the length of the left coddle on both pics.the second pic buck seems to have a noticeably longer left coddle. I agree at different angles they can look like a completely different deer. As far as far as 4 and 5 it could very well be the same deer, the pic here is the one in velvet without coddle tines earlier this year.
