Buck tag filled

[weekender21]

It’s been a great state archery hunt so far. Lots of action every hunt and I was able to hang my either sex tag on a great buck. Not my biggest Axis ever but by far my best during the February state archery hunt. The bucks are in velvet and typically have some growing left.

I will miss these island red dirt roads.

Nice! Do the axis deer taste like whitetail?

I know you didn’t ask me, but I’m qualified to answer. Yes, but better. The only thing I’ve ever eaten that compares is elk. Axis meat is delicious ! I have a little left in my freezer but March 15 I’ll be headed out to get another Axis doe.

I agree. Axis meat is some of the finest meat I have ever tasted.

Axis is the best venison on the planet in my opinion. Better than elk and Sitka blacktail which are hard to beat.

It’s an older (8 or 10 years) Mystery Ranch NICE frame. I have 3 bags for the same frame. A day pack (pictured), hauler and 6500.

Final deer for this trip. Doe, 12 yards with the new Iron Will wide cut. Unreal blood trail.

That was quite the dream hunt, thanks for sharing all those pictures, it gives us a little inside on what a Hawaiian deer hunt might be like.

I have a Redhead Spike Camp pack that's very similar to the Mystery Ranch Nice 6500. This plastic frame pack is a great heavy hauler with enough room to pack supplies for a week at a very reasonable price.
