Definitely! I've been wanted to do this for a couple years now. I ended up shooting mine the first day of rifle season. And then spent the next 3 days trying bump deer to him. The buck he shot was the 4th buck I pushed him over the 3 days. He missed the first one I pushed him.
I was able to get my first flintlock kill finally! Went up to my camp in Cameron county Pa on Sunday to hunt all this week and ended up being done by Monday at 3 after only 3 hours in the woods. This was the very first shot out of this flintlock I had built last year by Ron Luckenbill. I watched the deer from 200 yards out and he bedded down about 150 yards from me. I snuck up to about 50 yards away when he jumped up and gave me a shot. Ended up being a buck that already lost its antlers.

Got my nephew on his first bird, spot and stalk, no blind. Absolutely my favorite hunt, I’ve had more fun taking him out than my own hunts. My son is almost old enough to go, I’m super excited for that day to come.
Those jeeps sure do help with recovering the animal after its shot. In Fredricksburg TX we use the jeep to snake down through the oak trees and river beds. It really is a life saver on a ranch for sure. Nice Buck.
Very Nice! Is this on public land or is it on a Ranch? I don't know much about axis deer and wondering if you can hunt these on public land or only on private ranches.
A real surprise arrived today via UPS, this one was shot three years ago at least and my friend and guide just finished it and sent it to me. Some where near Lake Roosevelt WA and a Merriam's around 21 pounds. Going on the wall

Got a visit from the local Muley buck club last evening. There had been 5, but someone got one with their car at the end of my drive a couple weeks back. Sadly, he was too mangled to salvage.
