Heading to Koons Canyon again.....

Leaving today to chase a big axis in velvet. We were gonna hunt oryx but Glynn could not get the deal done with his suppliers in time. He is still trying so maybe we can work it out before April 4th. Fingers crossed.

Oh well. Life goes on. Will keep this post updated with posts. Later.

Be waiting for the results. Good luck!

Best of luck!

Thx. This will be our 4th trip since July. I shot a 32" axis last year. The axis were pressured and hunted hard. We barely even seen axis that trip. Now since there has not been much pressure, we hope to have a chance at a good one.

An axis in velvet has been a dream animal of mine. We shall see.

Good luck, Josh! I hope you get the big boy running around out there.

Thx Sawyer. I hope we see some good ones.

I don't doubt that there will be some good ones down there judging from the last time I was down.

Yea. We shall see. Wanna tag out and look for arrowheads on the rockbeds.

Good luck!! Pnfireman and I will actually be hunting Koon's Canyon next weekend. Looking forward to hearing details about your hunt!!

Its always fun. Great people. Lots of animals. Never lets us down. This is the 31" I shot last year.

I've been interested in how the hunting is on that place.. I'm wanting a trophy Axis in a bad way.. I look forward to seeing your results!! Good luck bro, I hope you get a good one!

That's a great buck. Right now I'm only planning on taking does...but that might change if a good buck like that walks out. Haha!

The pics he is showing us this yr look great and bigger than mine. We shall see.
I shot a axis,blackbuck, chocolate fallow and a nice stag so far off of this place.

The first time I went was my wifes first time on an actual hunt. She is an animal lover, but I bought her a bow and she is convinced she would be able to shoot a turkey or a hog. So after I had shot my axis we had spotted a turkey and were putting a stalk on it through one of the river beds. We were about to get ready to be in position and I reach for my wife and she isn't there. I look back and about 100 yards away she was picking up arrowheads and was excited beyond believe to just find things so ancient. It was pretty funny how she lost complete train of thought, none the less the turkey got away.

Lol. Funy. I was stalking an axis the first time and did the same thing. Caught myself looking down alot.

Sawyer, just got word Bill seen the big boy in velvet last night at my favorite stand!!

Awesome, just hope he continues that trend.

Yes

I just got off the phone with Bill, my hunt starts on Monday Feb. 20th. Lots of bucks ready to start shedding velvet right now, according to Bill. So maybe by the 20th I'll have a better opportunity for a nice one that's hard horned. Good Luck on your velvet hunt!!!

Thx Drop tine. If a big one is rubbing out I will still shoot him and have him mounted as is. I think that looks cool.

Awesome man, good luck. Hope to see some great pics! Hopefully after tax time I can head down there for my maiden voyage, I have heard nothing but good about KCR!

Fbc, you will be hooked. 9 awesome tower stands with nice office chairs in them. 3-5 nice bow blinds. 2 polaris rangers. Super nice people. It will be hard to beat buddy. Good luck and I hope your plan and finances work out.

Me too, thx man, and again, knockem dead and show us pics, I am sure you will, I believe I have seen your past trips!!

me and 4 buddys going for axis in april and i hope it turns out good,same ranch as you

I hope theres still some good ones left in April

Going to bed. 5:40 will come early. Later.

Passed a decent axis this morning. Several others still growing and will be nice. Shot a good mouflon and a corsican. Post pics later

Nice, just saw those on FB as well. Great animals coming off KCR.

You are following us on FB, well done. Everyone should keep track on FB. We update pics there often.

Yes, got you on FB and have had several of my friends from out of state now following you too!

Great rams! Any axis or blackbuck seen today??

Very nice, Congrats!!!

Congrats, Josh. Great animals! Maybe next time you will get your axis in velvet.

Nice rams Bulldog, maybe next time you will get your axis!

I seen a decent one this morning at blind #7. I passed him as he was built just like the one I shot in July.

Seen 3 that will be studs!!! Brows were about 6-10" long. Beams about 24" right now in velvet. Will be awesome about April-May. The only possible shooter I seen was him this morning.

I talked with Glynn today. I am thinking of heading over to KCR on Feb 6&7 for an Axis. Should have the whole place to myself. Does he have a lot of Axis running around?

I only seen 15-20 axis. My buddy seen 40-50 on his 3 sittings. It is hunting and depends on where the axis depends to show up. lol

Most are growing right now.

I have went on several exotic hunts in the past year or two and everytime I go it seems like the axis are by far the most aware and spooky animal.

That's what I'm talking about! WOW

Nice. Congrats

Another nice axis.

What did the last one measure out at?

Congrats!

32"
