Just got back from a Bowhunt to finish a video we have been working on for almost 2 years. Hunted a 4200 acre ranch for what was supposed to be a excellent place for Axis Deer. Well, saw no Bucks of any kind in 5 days of hunting but did get lucky my 4th evening & take this Mix Red Sheep/Corsican Ram.
25 yard shot & he went down in 50 yards (all on film). Not what I drove 25 hours to hunt but since It was the only kill from 5 hunters plus 2 that had just left b/4 us I am thankful.
Good luck to all in the remaining season.

What part of Texas where you hunting in? That is interesting that you didnt see very many axis. Out here we have plenty of them.

Interesting looking ram.
What sort of terrain was he living in?

S.W. Texas. About 45 min. N of Del Rio & Mexican border.
Rolling hills , rocky ravines & small trees & brush.
I have Bowhunted 4 different parts of Texas & am amazed at the difference in terraine the state has. Of course everyone NOT from Ill./Iowa thinks we have nothing but flat ground & corn fields. Where I live we have some pretty good thick timber, high bluffs & steep ravines-especially along the Mississippi River.
Still have my Iowa tag but did miss a big P&Y 10 point. have passed on more Does than I can count & many smaller Bucks.
Good luck to all who have not filled their tags yet.
Merry Christmas & hope you & yours have had a blessed year as our family has.

ahunter where you hunted is less than probably 50 miles from where my ranch is. I am glad to see there is still lots of game down there. Not to long ago the area was threatened with anthrax (not terrorists, a natural kind that stays in the soil and comes up and kills deer and other wildlife)
