I did the Archery hunt last year and got off a few shots but no kills. Try to get over by the group lodges(other side of the river). Plenty of axis there and by the entrance.

As stated, "search" for garner hunts on here and there are several threads. Different folks have had different experiences. If you are on the right hunt and in the right stand, you can kill a bunch of them. If not, it will be a long week. Earlier hunts generally have higher success rate as with most park hunts. Just like any other hunting, nothing is guaranteed.
Just know that they take you to/from assigned blinds and some of them have limited shooting lanes for safety purposes. Totally understandable. They try to concentrate the stands in areas where the axis are most commonly seen. My son hunted stand #2 on the map above. We could only shoot straight east in about a 40 degree window. Had 2 pass by on the left the first night (outside that window) and had a small herd go directly behind us at 40 yds. Just the luck of the hunt I guess.
The park has been culling axis but I was there recently and there are still alot of them. Good luck and just enjoy the hunt. There are lots of axis there and you may be one of the lucky ones that's in the "hot" stand....
Almost forgot, they recommend the molasses hay (chaff hay I believe) to draw them in. We picked some up in the feed store in Leakey after we checked in.

Drew South Llano SP two years ago and it was very well run. They were very helpful and really wanted you to get something. They had a nice cleaning station. They even were there to assist with that if you needed.
He may have retired...very nice gentleman. he used to run the hunts.
