First Success on Blanco County Lease! Axis Video

[hoythunter02]

I got REALLY lucky on the recovery. I roughly measured the track that I made (inside red line) down the creek, along the fence line, along adjacent fence line, and then back up hill toward clearing where I blindly stumbled upon her. The straight line distance was 417 yards…and not anywhere close to where she actually ran after I lost sight of her.

That OnX is a great tool for recognizing these situations. That’s wild man, good Lord blessed you on that one.

Congrats Michael. Any Axis with a bow is no small feat.
They are the definition of skittish. Enjoy the meat and cool vid.

Hey hey!!! Thanks for the mention. Great camera work and presence as always. I’d still be without an axis had that been me, cus you have the huevos to take that shot and I don’t. Worked out perfectly. Congrats!!!

Oh, man, I have many fond memories of hunting in Blanco with my dad.

You crazy with that shot angle, Bossman

Glad you smacked a big ol' nanny. Any polka dot with a bow is a good one.

She'll eat

LOL! Juevos can definitely lead to a lapse in judgement, so maybe you're right. I don't think I've ever taken a quartering to shot before, and I'm unlikely to do so again, even though it ultimately worked out.

With what you're shooting I wouldn't hesitate with that shot. You didn't hit exactly where you'd hoped, but it was still a kill shot. I am a little surprised at the penetration though. I'd have expected that to blow right through. Did it at least poke out the other side?

What is your new arrow weight?

i once shot an axis around that same spot never found it... after some research I found that the vitals sit way tighter and forward. A typical broadside lung shot would be a gutshot on them spotted variety.

Nice video thx for sharing

I can answer that. 525 gr.

I'm old and fat. You are working too hard to drag a deer. I use a ten foot length of mule tape. Tie it around the neck and then take a half hitch over the nose. That way the nose isn't catching on every bush you pass, and you aren't pulling against the direction that the hair grows. Keeping the hair fuzzed up and working against you generates more drag than you need to have to overcome.
