I'll post a few Axis deer photos. I was able to take these photos close to my old home near Uvalde ,Texas. These deer have been in Texas since the 1950's and the free ranging population is estimated at over 35,000 head. In many places the Axis deer are out competing the native Whitetail's for available forage and are treated as an invasive species by the Texas Parks and Wildlife. Beautiful animals and the meat from an axis is amazing! The second to last photo is of the buck I was able to shoot. My wife took the photo from about 200 yards away. I was able to get close enough for a good shot because he was locked down with the doe in the pic. The buck weighed 246lbs. Baker
