Here are a pair of Axis deer bucks that my friend shot on Lanai recently. the larger one measured 33.5" and the other measured 28". Not bad for a morning hunt.

Nice bucks. I want to do an archery hunt for them sometime. That would be a blast.

Were those taken on the lottery hunts or the private side ?

Nice bucks!!
I'll be on Maui in a month for some pigs with dogs can't wait just wish Axis were in season.

These were taken on the private hunt.

MJB, The axis deer in Hawaii are legal to hunt year-round on private land with the landowner's permission.

Lanai company has a commercial hunt for them if you're interested

Axis deer breed year-round so they can be found in all stages of antler development. However, the majority of them will have dropped their antlers in the fall months and by feb-march they begin to have hardend antlers again.
