I also just got back from Pauls ranck in Texas. I will be going back next year with my Wife and kids. We had a great time. The Food was great, lodging was very clean. It cost me $450.00 total to go there and shoot a hog on his ranch. There were no hidden fees, everything was laid out on the website. There were 10 other hunters there besides my group and no one got in our way. We all tagged out and one of my party shot 2 pigs. it was a very good experience, the hunting was pretty tough also we went in thinking they would be tammed. Im here to tell you they are not, you have to work at it. I took a bow and a rifle. bow was pretty tough do to getting close enough to them. I would recomend this ranch to anyone asking. Paul was there and was a real good guy. Did not seem to b.s. at all. I read people for a living and he seemed like a straight shooter to me.

First class accomodations, excellent food and hospitality, excellent skeet shooting, rifle and pistol range and archery range.  Abundant wildlife.

I have a lease (open range) off of 1340 in Kerr County and we have some nice axis that hang out there. I took a nice one in May 2006 and then got another good one in Jan 2007.

This past week (6/13/2007 I heard one Bellowing and then saw him shortly there after, he also started thrashing trees and definetely acted like he was mad at something. When I was able to get a shot at him he was walking in the trees and came into an opening and I shot him there and he fell in his tracks. Very nice 28" buck.

The other 2 Axis I shot did fall but about 100 to 200 yds from where I shot them. They are tuff and both were shot behind the shoulder. The one I shot this past Wed was shot a little higher on the shoulder. Good clean shot.

I had heard this bellowing noise a couple of times but I was not sure what was making it until this week. I heard him below 2 times with 5 bellows each time. Shortly after the second time is when I saw him.

I would also like to have an axis call, let me know what you find out.

By the way I have shot all 3 bucks with a rifle but did get an axis does with my bow, it was from a pop up blind @ 20 yds. I think these axis are really smart animals and are very exciting to hunt. I have always hunted from a blind as our lease is small and when they get to running they can get off the property pretty quickly plus there are to many stickers and rocks and cactus for me to get on my big belly to crawl around on.

When a nice one comes out with a nice rack it sure gets that heart pumping. Made axis chili today man was it tasty!

Have fun

By the way that is a nice Axis you have there. I hope to get a nice 35 to 36 " one day!

Years ago, I went into the woods with a sandwich, my Rifle, compass, knife , and a piece of rope. When I camped out hunting; camping gear was a tent and a sleeping bag. Of course a coffee pot and enough grub for a couple of meals.

Am I weird or what ...

You don't need an app to calibrate your hunting rifle.  While this is a useful application in long distance shooting the best application and any sniper will tell you in first consistency of your ammo and the second is just spending time at the range.  Your cold bore shot is the most important since you often get only one shot at an animal.  Snipers spend several hours on the range shooting cold bore shots at different distances.  Experience and time at the range is the best way to determine you rifles capabilities and not short cuts.
