Axis in Edna

[chewjr]

I was walking around on my girlfriends ranch off of 822 in Edna calling for some yotes Saturday evening when I seen something catch my eye. I lifted my gun up to see a big axis buck and a doe feeding about 100 yards away on the neighboring property. Has anyone seen any in this area or were they most likely runaways from a exotic ranch?

I work in Edna area and hunt in Victoria. Pretty sure those are escapees. A few high fences and breeders up in that area.

[Strummer]

there are a few hi fences down 822 . has to be a escapee I live on 822 and haven't seen one at the house and if I do i will ground check him for sure

[chewjr]

I defiantly would have ground checked em if they were on my side. I figured they were escapees but sure was cool to see. Have you killed any good deer off of 822?

Can't speak for strummer but his old lady killed an awesome buck last year!!
I'm off 822 as we'll from Hwy. 59 about 2 miles down on the left. Where abouts are you??

I'm about 2 miles down on the right if you turn off of 111. There's a little White House on the side of the road with a little barn.

I love how these threads pop up and you see how small a world it is. One of the pipelines I take care of runs all through this area up and down 822. Have seen some pretty decent deer in the area

I guess about 2-3 years ago they ran a pipeline right on the edge of their property. Real close to wear the axis were posted up. We've killed a ton of hogs and deer one of the neighbor fellas has trapped close to 60 since last deer season!

One of my trainees will be out in that area a lot the next few days, will tell him to keep an eye out for the spotted critters for ya!

[chewjr]

Cool deal. I can't wait to move out in that area

I believe it.. tons of hogs and deer in the area. I hope you get a shot at the axis. Do y'all have accesses to the river??

[chewjr]

No sir. Wish we did! Here's a couple kills from out there this last deer season.

I saw 2 axis about 9 years ago on the Lavaca river when we were baling hay right off of CR 127. My guess is they got out from a couple of the high fence ranches further up 822. Pretty cool sight around here
