    Axis love cottonseed. I know a ranch that has them regularly come into the cottonseed feeders.

      This is what we use.

          Yes, blow that thing and it will ruin a white-tail hunt. I have gotten the thing to sound like the videos but have never had an Axis come into the call. All that is left is to use it while Axis are around and see how they respond.

                            I have heard this as well. I will give it a shot during the next work weekend. I will also re-try the ez axis caller during the summer months. To add to my earlier post, for some reason the easy axis caller scares the deer real bad (It may also scare your hunting buddies if you blow it after dark). I typically have 10-40 deer out during a sit in Junction. I have shot a deer before and only a few scattered. I blew that dang call and they all hauled butt, thinking Bigfoot was coming in for lunch, and I did not see anything the rest of the sit.

                            The little beeper did not have the same impact on deer, but I did not see any Axis come in either.

                              Yeah they really like alfalfa even when there is corn out.

                                I have a friend with a small plot (20 acres) bordering a large ranch in Real county. He dumps 50-100 lbs corn and busts open a bale of alfalfa. He gets 30+ axis about 100 yards from the house every morning and evening around
                                October and they move off after green up in the spring to eat native browse
