Axis buck at new ranch - scoring help

[ATXBowhunter]

Recently purchased 190 acres in Junction and have had several nice axis bucks show up. Would appreciate any thoughts on score for this one. TIA.

He's big. Congratulations sir

His brows and caudle (can't see the left one) are nothing special, but he's got good length. Looks like he'll put on another inch or maybe two of beam length. Still bulbed on the tips, so not quite finished. Looks to be 32"-ish now, so maybe he'll finish out 33-34. Looks mature, maybe even on the verge of post-mature. Hard to tell for sure in a single grainy pic. He'd make a cool trophy - especially on your own land.

Appreciate the insights - thanks! There are several bigger ones and even one with 9 pts (has a 3rd brow tine sticking out). I've never shot axis before but there are 5-6 nice bucks at our place. Thx again!

Looks like you made a fine purchase. Good luck!

Agreed. Also, once they’re hard horned they really start to move around.

What part of junction?

My property is 15 miles south off Junction off 377 (actually in Telegraph). It was raw land and we just routed electric in and dug a water well. Construction of the cabin starts in a few wks - been a ton of fun so far! Thanks.

He’s a good healthy buck. Can’t tell if he has a caudel on his left side or not. Like Shane said, his eye guards and caudels are nothing special. They look to be about finished growing also. The main beams will get longer still, probably two more inches. I believe he will be 32 1/2”-33” when finished out. He won’t score well overall. I disagree with him being “post mature.” They live a lot longer than whitetails do. He’s definitely a mature buck, but can most likely get bigger next year. Especially if you start a supplemental feeding program. Good luck and congrats on your new place.

short points will not score high. But a nice buck none the less.
