Florida's Largest Axis Deer Our Florida Axis Deer hunting trips are the best in the state and one of the top destinations in the eastern US. Indulge in the most popular exotic animal hunting experience in the US by joining us for an Axis deer (Cervus axis) hunt. Originally hailing from India and Sri Lanka, these majestic creatures sport a unique brown coat marked with rows of white spots, and a three-tined antler set, making them a true trophy for any hunter's collection. Most Axis deer are harvested with hard horns, although some hunters prefer their horns still in velvet. One thing is for certain, Axis deer is known for being the finest table fare of all Cervidae species. Tastes so good. These elusive animals are extremely challenging to hunt, as they tend to favor the thickest cover available and have a keen sense of smell and eyesight. But fear not, our experienced guides are equipped with the best equipment and strategies to ensure a successful hunt. We recommend hunting Axis deer from a tree stand located near a natural food source such as a food plot or an oak tree dropping acorns. This method has proven to be the most effective way to target these elusive creatures. With Ripping It Outdoors Axis deer hunts are available year-round, giving you the freedom to plan your hunt according to your schedule. Book your Axis deer hunting trip with us today and experience the thrill of hunting one of the most popular exotic animals in the US! At our ranch most Axis Deer shed their velvet around May. However, Axis deer are unique that their antler cycle does not depend on the length of daylight like whitetails but more so on their on clock or close to when they are born. All that being said just means we have a variety of animals to pick from year around from hard horned to velvet. Booking Hunts Year Round!
