He's a cracker Benno. Good on you! Axis deer are just as jumpy here in the states. They are by far the hardest deer I have ever had the pleasure to hunt. I took my nine good efforts and 10 solid weeks before I was able to arrow one of my own. They seem to have ESP. It is truly amazing how they're able to get out of the way of an arrow. Yes, Axis is also the best tasting meat I have ever had!
