New to Forum with Axis Deer Hunting Question

[Dobeman887]

Hello, new here from N IL. I have often used the site to look up various information, but wanted to ask a question this time. I see this question has been asked before, but not much information provided. I'm a long time whitetail and turkey hunter, but now that I'm nearing retirement I want to start checking off a few boxes on my bucket list of hunts. The first of these is one that allows me to hunt in the summer, which is an Axis Deer hunt in Texas. I would like to find an outfitter/guide where I can hunt free range Axis Deer. If you have any experience with this, or know of a quality outfitter that could provide this hunt for me please respond. Thank you.

Haven’t hunted them but have a couple buddy’s that have. And they did it over in Hawaii. That’s where I’d be looking. Exotic animal in an exotic environment.

As the self-appointed chairman of the welcoming committee, it is my privilege to extend a laurel, and hearty handshake (virtual, of course) to our new IL member.

P.S. You mentioned "new here" in your post and you joined today so I'm treating it as your intro post.

I recommend spot and stalk outfitters out of NM. Aaron is a good dude and he spends a ton of time guiding on huge low fence operations in west Texas and kills some great axis.
