Free range axis hunting on a budget

[kusai]

Dont have a big budget but probably can shell out $500 for axis hunts. I have seen a few hunts back last year but dont see them now. Anyone have any suggestions or referrals ?

Thanks community.
P.S I just hunt for meat and a deer goes almost a year to me.

[kusai]

$500 for a doe is kinda high, though I haven't paid much attention to what they are going for recently...

Holy Crap. I haven't tried to hunt deer or exotics in years. Last time I tried, the landowner just wanted me to split the meat with him. That was in a galaxy far far away.

You're not calling that free range, are you?

If an advertisement shows a herd at a feeder, by definition that is not free range hunting.

Thanks, good to know. But I contacted the above CL post and it comes out to about $500 for 2 does. Any ideas how much they weigh dressed ?

Average doe is 90-150 pounds on the hoof

Average doe is 90-150 pounds on the hoof

10-4, I go along with that, depends if the doe is mature or a young un

Seems to me then, the average would be 120#.


And Ben makes fun of MY math skill.

Still good for me.

Called a range of weight that the average falls into.

I'd like to take a NICE Axis buck, for the wall/freezer. - Does anyone know a reasonably priced hunt, within a reasonable drive from San Antonio?

yours, satx

Legit question. What I consider reasonable may be completely out of line with someone else.
