Axis from Texas

[Glass eye]

Here are a couple I just finished that someone might recognize.

[Muggs]

Nice work on some pretty animals. What was the length of the main beams on them?

Take care

['Ike' @ HM]

Sweet!

[ltdann]

I'd have to look at the score sheet for the exact beam length but I recall it was about 29 for the first one (144 4/8 overall) and the second one was about 28 (142 4/8).

Both qualify for the the SCI silver medal. Glasseye did a wonderful job on both.!

Very nice! Makes me want to sing.....

Why Shane, I do believe they came from your outfit. As I recall, one of them had "a rear end like a fat girl from Alabama"!

Thanks again, Shane, That was an awesome good time.

We had shane score them using the SCI score sheet (impartial 3rd party).

Chucks was 142 4/8 and mine was 144 4/8. Both scored silver and missed gold by a hair. We're both very happy.

P.S. psssttt, mine was bigger.:smiley_yahoo:

That's sorta funny...

You know, Dan, if you and Chuck want a rematch, it looks like I've still got room at the end of March.

Jeez, I wish we could. Momma absolutely loves Axis, I don't think we've bought beef in 6 months. My dance cards full this year and I Know Chucks being cautious in this economy.

Besides, It's one of the few times I've shot something bigger than him. Why give him a chance to regain bragging rights.

Dang, those mounts look good!!:patiotic-wavin-flag

Sound like a fun hunt. But those texas hunt are kinda spendy for my retarded/retired pay.

Not if you start saving for now, for next year! I suspect in this economy, you'll see some small reductions in cost.

I believe the buck and doe went $1750 (500 for doe, 1250 buck). Pigs were free as well as varmits.

It was a hoot, plenty of game.

I've seen meat hunts at other outfitters that were reasonably priced. One place I remember was like 6 does(different species) for $1k.. That Axis meat is THEE best game I've ever eaten.

Great looking deer and well mounted :)

Those chital are sure good on the plate too, and plenty a meal to be had from a good sized stag :)

[ltdann]

Jindy,

I took the stag to the slaughter house and still got 144 lbs of PROCESSED meat. We figured it weighed about 250 in the field. It took 3 of us to get it into the truck. Wonderful meat, very tasty.
