Ok so I'm new to the exotics game, I put a trail camera out last weekend and threw out a 50lb bag of corn. I checked the trail cam and I couldn't be happier with the results. How would you age these axis bucks.

In my opinion, none of them have reached their full potential. The deer in post #3 has some really nice brows and probably 28" beams, looks to be nearing the end of his growth cycle. Also the fact that he's a 7pt is pretty neat. If you haven't killed an axis, I'd be going after him. Good luck and congrats on the new target species, the hill country is a magical place.

we also got pictures of hogs whitetail and turkeys. But the axis are by far my favorite. Itll be hard to pass on that 7 point if he shows up when im there but hes the only one i would shoot at this point. Hopefully my neighbors are somewhat management minded and dont just go shoot anything that moves.
