Yes. Axis shed according to when they were born, not like WT. You're likely to some axis bucks in velvet, hard antler, or dropped.

In India there are essentially 2 breeding herds. Some summer breeders and some winter breeders. Same here in Texas but the lines have blurred and though most breeding takes place in june/July and nov/ Dec there could be breeding going on any time and there will be some hard horns every day of the year.

Most will be in velvet this time of year.

As has been said before, you’ll have a mix of hard horned, velvet, and dropped at any given time of the year. A majority of our axis are in various stages of velvet growth currently, but we do have a couple that are hard horned running around too. If you want a full velvet Axis, most of ours will be tipped out or nearing tipped out in late March/April. They’ll shed velvet shortly after and then we’ll have a majority of hard horned Axis through the summer and into October/November.

Most of mine are shedding antlers now or are in various stages of velvet. I have a few that just shed velvet in last 30 days.
