[QUOTE="Scrosier38, post: 2153600, member: 61732"] Jeffrey, I shot two Axis doe in Hawaii (lucky draw for a hunt on the island of Lanai while we were still living in Hawaii.) Saw some incredible racks on a number of Axis bucks, but the draw was for does only. I shot both with a 6.5 Creedmoor using Federal Non-Typical 140 gr Soft Points. Both were a bit smaller than a typical Whitetail doe and both were downhill shots. One was and angled shot from about 70 yards and was through the heart and caught one lung. That doe ran about 40 yards and expired. The other was a steep downhill shot from 210 yards (rangefinder) that went high and severed the spine, causing it to fall right where it stood. (better lucky than good...) As others have said, the meat was outstanding. My wife grew up in NW PA and hunted Whitetail from the age of 12. Our experience with the Axis venison matches that of others. It was the best venison either of us has ever tasted. Since we are now in the Pacific NW, we are considering a Texas Axis hunt in the near future. Good luck on your hunt. [/QUOTE]
