    Fair enough, I honestly havent researched that style of hunting much but from what I see on tv (I know...its only tv) its like shooting fish in a barrel. The guys down there seem to see dozens of giant bucks at a time, while they sit in a house on stilts overlooking a feeder haha.

    They are not native to the US, they are originally from India. Taste better than whitetail and get bigger as well

    haha Yeah the old man doesn't like tracking them. Axis were originally imported from India by the King Ranch along with Nilgai. Both eventually escaped and started reproducing in the wild. Since they are not native species you can hunt them year 'round. A big axis buck can be close to 300 lbs, nilgai can get over 600. They are nice for keeping the freezer full.

    Yes, totally different deer. Nilgai have a solid brown coat and they get much bigger. The meat is very dark red with a unique, strong (but pleasant - not gamey) taste. Axis have spotted coats and the meat looks much like beef and has a very mild taste. Both are very lean and low in fat. Red meat that's GOOD for you!
