Pretty fun morning in the blind at my dad’s place in the Texas Hill Country. Watching a herd of Axis in the meadow that were already there at first light. 8 bucks; 1 monster, 2 other shooters, 2 borderline and 2 spikes. Saw the 2 other shooters locking antlers for about 5 minutes. Watching the monster stay back from the herd and rub on trees.
They had made there way to about 20 yds from the property line and were getting close when the neighbors a half a mile away let there dogs out. I could see orange collars bobbing up and down in the field, hear barking and the next thing you know, the herd is gone...
Will sit around for another hour to see if they come back down the mountain. If not, will sit in the blind this evening when it is 100* out. Will do it all over again tomorrow and Monday if need be.
