Axis deer, or sometimes called Chital deer, have been imported to the United States from Southeast Asia with the largest populations being in India. They are beautifully colored deer with a red coat and white spots. The Axis stags will generally weigh around 185 pounds on the hoof and the does will weigh around 100 pounds on the hoof.  The Axis stags will lose their horns according to their birthdays.  At all times of the year we will have Axis stags with no horns, some in velvet, & some that are hard horned. The hard horned stags will be dominant over the other stags and will keep a herd of does with him until he loses dominancy or loses his horns.  The meat of an Axis is 99.8% fat free, making it the leanest meat of any mammal.  They are also grazers like the Fallow deer and this also makes the taste of their meat very delicious.  The Axis deer are a very graceful animal to watch in the wild and the shows of dominancy that the stags put on are exciting to see.  The antlers of the Axis stags consist if one main beam going back in a lyre pattern with usually an eye guard and an extra point about half way up the main beam.  The lifespan of an Axis can reach over 20 years.  We have a strong mature herd of Axis on our ranch which enables us to offer Trophy Class hunting for you and because of the maturity of the herd, the hunting is very challenging, especially with a bow or muzzleloader.  We are limited on hunts for these because of the natural process of when they are hard horned, but because of this the great thing is that the Axis can be hunted year round.  We are constantly having a change in our herd of the stags that are able to be taken.  Our Axis stag hunts are generally a 3day/ 2night hunt with meals and lodging starting at $2995 & up .  This price does not include taxidermy, meat processing, or guide fees.  Please contact us to check the status of our herd and to see when the best time to book your hunt would be.
