Thanks guys!
Thanks! It weighed 180lbs dressed. We didn't weigh an on-the-hoof weight. Our management document asks only for dressed weight.

Wow that is awesome for a low fence! Wonder if one of your high fence neighbors forgot to close the gate one night.
I feel the same way as you about the "hunting" resorts. A buddy occasionally guides hunts on one of those places and it is a joke. He said they process the deer, but don't recommend that anyone eat it because it they are so full of antibiotics, steroids & supplements. Pretty expensive dog food if you ask me.

The length measurement isnt too abnormal but damn damn you sure you didnt kill a mini moose with that spread? 
Good job man, and FYI I killed my axis last March and he still isnt ready. The taneries(sp?) had a big back log, maybe you'll get lucky and they've caught up by now.

Got any pics of said axis? I shot an axis doe when I was in high school and we had the hide tanned. It turned out to be really nice. The meat cannot be beat either. WAY tastier than whitetail!

Ill probably never shoot anything to compare to this deer so Im a bit proud of it. 34ish" diamond horned axis buck in full velvet. Not a scratch on the velvet either, its going over my tv in my apt and when I get a hosue over the fireplace
