Axis Deer Hunting
Axis deer hunting is considered a prestigious trophy hunt, and MMK Outfitters, offers package hunts throughout the state of Texas.
These gorgeous animals make a beautiful prize. White spots cover their summer and winter coats, over a rufous fawn color. Their stomach, throat and under-tail areas are usually white, and they have a dark, dorsal stripe from the back of their heads to the tip of their tails.
If you are looking for a male during your axis deer hunting experience, you will see they stand about 36 inches high at the shoulder, and they can weigh anywhere up to about 200 pounds. Adult males have antlers that are a reddish-brown color. The beam – curving backward and out in a lyre shape – averages in the 20-inch range; beams between 30 and 36 inches in length are considered exceptional. Each side usually has three tines, and the antlers are shed annually. Once in a while, you will see a herd of the males wandering around together. Looking for a female instead? You will usually find her traveling with her offspring in small herds.
Axis deer hunting is usually the most successful during the day, when the deer are usually out. Just after dawn and just before sunset, you will find these beautiful creatures most active. Because it is a tropical dear, there is no seasonal rut. Axis bucks can be found in velvet and hard horn regardless of the time of year, which also means fawning can take place at any time.
Another benefit to Axis deer hunting is that there are no seasonal restrictions in the state of Texas. This means it can be a suitable trophy year round. And with its tasty meat that is almost fat free, it is among the leanest meat of any mammal. If this is your goal during your hunting experience, you will find it to be the best venison you can eat.
With Axis deer hunting, you get a safari-style hunt, just like you would in Africa – without having to travel to another continent to do so!
Our Axis deer hunting packages are all-inclusive, featuring food (three meals a day, along with snacks and beverages), accommodations with a slew of modern amenities, your guide, and trophy care – skinning, quartering, caping and delivery of your trophy to the taxidermist. Do you need transportation to and from the airport, guns or ammunition? We can make those arrangements for you in advance, too.
You will have to secure a hunting license on your own prior to your hunt, but they can be obtained at any sporting goods store.
Our guides are committed to making sure you have a productive Axis deer hunting experience. Your satisfaction is our ultimate goal, and we will provide you with knowledgeable, skilled and professional guides to make that happen.
MMK Outfitters wants to take care of everything in your Axis deer hunting experience so you can put your focus on what you came to do – collect your trophy. We offer a variety of private ranches in North, Central and South Texas. Whether you are a new hunter, one with years of experience or fall somewhere in the middle, our top priority is your happiness. We also offer group and corporate packages.
