Already have my Sitka Buck, so right now, the Axis buck is the animal of my dreams. Would still like to collect one of each color phase of the Fallow buck too, but the Axis would be my first choice. Had a real dandy in front of me in Texas two weeks ago, but the ranch does not allow bucks to be taken in velvet. This randy old timer was still in velvet so I passed on him. Rules are rules. He was a handsome devil, though and he was within 15 yards and didn't even know I was there. I could have dropped him in a heartbeat with my little ol' crossbow.

One of the other hunters shot an Axis buck in velvet and it cost him an extra $1200. To big of a fine for my blood. Once I get my Axis buck, I plan on going aftera Jackalope buck. Awfully handsome animal, that Jackalope.
