I think the longest beams on one I killed were 35 1/2". But the biggest one I killed had around 34" beams. We use the score, not just one measurement.

34x33 was longest antlered axis I've killed. Low fence.
This one was the biggest body. I didn't weigh him, but he was thick. Low fence.
I guided my dad on this one. Long side was 35, but he was wonky and only about 30 on the other side. Also low fence.
Watched Zach kill this one. He was 33. Also low fence.
Not the biggest, but this one was the most fun axis hunt we've had so far. I called and rattled this one, along with 5 other bucks, in for Zach. They were all 50 yards and less when he shot the biggest one of the bunch. That was pretty dang exciting. Old buck past his prime. Also low fence.

You can pick up desert walking up and down the street afterwards..
I may have to stop by there just to see the axis.

All my Axis over a dozen, have all been free range and free. No pay. No fence and small parcel kills. This one I shot last November has the longest antlers of all I have taken. His antlers show what the frost had did to him and many other Axis shot from this spot. The freeze got'em real good. They are no longer seen in the numbers we used to see them in.
