Axis Buck From Friday

Took this great 40 inch axis friday evening.. Despite not having much width we are currently waiting on a second scorer to see if he will be the new number one

Holy axis! That's a goodun, man what little width would have done to that beast.

Great animal! Congrats!!

Great axis

Great buck

That is one big axis.

Very nice congrats

good buck even has extra points

Thanks guys the picture really doesn't do him justice

That dude is tall...

Great axis and a 4x4 to boot!

Hahah 2x... I would have guessed 30" from the pic... 40 is pretty insane and that one looks average. The width will fool you a bit also.

Very nice! Congrats to the lucky hunter!

he taped 40' straight up? Congrats on the axis, just wondering. Do you have any other pictures?

Yes he does... And that's about all I have as far as pictures go, I wish we had more pics of him cause these aren't worth a crap

NICE BUCK !!!

nice trophy!

Nice axis! Do you age an axis like a WT? Just wonder how old this one is...

Nice Axis!

what is the total score

What a beast! Congrats to the hunter

Total score ?????? It's a great axis I just can't see where he can make #1 wish you had better pics

I wanna say 509 and some change tgr, but I'll have to check the score sheet again to be 100%

509, how does that scoring work.....

Tgr is in centimeters

its in centimeters.

I thought so. Not doubting it's a great axis just didn't look above average to me from the photos.

Yeah the pictures aren't great I'll agree with you on that one

409 score sorry

Anyone know the top 5 axis scores. I can't find them for some reason and want to see where mine lands just for my though. I'm gona have to go get a total on mine though it had 33 and change beams and 33 width, good tine length. I doubt it makes top ten, but would like to see where my 3 on the wall land just for my satisfaction

I don't know, but I think the record came from Bandera County..
My son's is 35" on one side 33" on the other and 30" inside in
velvet...I let him shoot it in Tarpley when he was 12...Don

Good lookin axis!

Jeremy,
I know when my buck was shot years back it went 182" in ROE. Next time you come by the ranch we can score it and look at our all time TGR book and see what's tops in it. I know We had a high 160' low 170's taken earlier this year as well. I'd say to make top ten you'd need to be in the 170's easily. I'm still curious as to where my buck still stands as well.

409cm is right about 161 inches.

Not sure, my guess is this didnt come close to #1. I will measure all my axis this week and see where they come close to this one I by no means am saying this axis isnt 40"....... BUT its very hard to get it close to that unless it had a 18" spread. IMO great looking animals none the less and sweet 4x4 frame. Congrats to the hunter.

That 409cm is TGR and they don't count the spread. Only mass.

I just looked in the newest TGR book at the #1 axis...401cm!

yeah i was saying for it to be 40" tall it would have to have a tiny spread and that looks like we will be puting some new entrys in very soon, I have one that should go high up there or close and will know wendsday for sure, and i know CP Wade from porters has a giant

Damn that's nice! I love axis meat!

Getting Mr. Porter to score mine...I taped him last night and came up with 433.1 with velvet deductions. I think I'll be submitting mine too.

Keep in mind, that the TGR score does NOT include inside spread. So if your comparing it to SCI, you have a circumference that SCI does not take and a inside spread that needs to be put into the score. That axis but they shot is bigger than 161". The TGR takes a base, a circumference between the base and caudal, and between the caudal and the main beam tip. SCI does not include the third circumference and you round up to the nearest 1/8" with SCI. So if if fell between there in centimeter it could possibly gain a little bit more with a SCI measurement.

Either way, this is one really, nice axis buck and congrats to the hunter and the ranch!

I may have missed it, but where was this taken?

How bout some pictures CP!!!!!!!!!!

Yes sir you are correct. The owner and myself are both official scorers for TGR and ROE. In the process of working on becoming a SCI scorer as well.

Going to post up a picture in a different thread. Don't want to hi-jack this thread any more and take away from a great buck. check the exotic section soon.

awesome animal
