“My 1st Axis!!”
by Wes Mundy (Double Diamond Outfitters)
For as long as I can remember I dreamed of making a living in the outdoor/hunting industry and 6 years ago I decided to chase my dream and started Double Diamond Outfitters. It’s been a great 6 years and I’ve had the privilege to hunt with great people and kill some great animals, but unfortunately my own personal hunting has been greatly reduced. So I never pass up a chance when I get the opportunity to hunt for myself and kill whatever animal/trophy I choose.
A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to get an opportunity to hunt axis deer. I was really excited because I’ve never killed an axis buck. I’ve shot a lot of axis does, and passed on some great axis bucks, (yes I’m still kicking myself over several of them) so hopefully this time I would finally get my 1st axis buck.
Since I was hunting 15-20 minutes from my house, just outside of Boerne, I decided to concentrate on afternoon hunts when the temperature would continually be dropping. We had been seeing some pretty nice axis at specific feeders, so each afternoon I would concentrate on those feeders, stalking and still hunting, looking for the bigger axis that were on my “hit list.” (more…)
Still searching for that trophy hunt of a lifetime?! You’re time is now!
If you’re like us, a trophy bighorn ram is at the top of the list for all-time hunting goals to one day topple. Well, you’re wait to harvest a World-Class Bighorn may just have come to an end…but act fast, because time is limited to take advantage of a last minute deal on your hunt of a lifetime!!
Double Diamond Outfitters has one Desert Sheep permit still available for the 2011 sheep season in Mexico. The season is supposed to stop at the end of this month, but they got a 10-day extension with this permit giving you until April 10, 2010 (like we said, no time to waste here). Double Diamond scouts just pinpointed two rams this past weekend that both will score 165″+ B&C!
The hunt will take place on a 8,500 acre ranch in Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico and is a ‘no kill, no pay’ hunt. If you are unsuccessful harvesting your trophy ram, there will be only a nominal fee to cover expenses like gas, food & guide fees during the hunt. They can’t stress enough that this is a safe & secure area of Mexico, more than 3 hours from the U.S./Mexico border. Camping near the mountains that you will be hunting, this hunt will be challenging, but the success…that much sweeter and the experience one you will never forget!
The ranch owner has graciously discounted the price of this permit to only $30,000! (That’s almost 50% of the normal cost to take a sheep of this caliber!) Get in touch with DDO immediately if you, or anyone you know, is interested and please help spread the word. One lucky hunter will have a chance at fulfilling a lifelong dream in the next 2 weeks!

Double Diamond Outfitters has just added a new exotic hunting property to their available hunting ground offerings – the Shonto Ranch, near Kerrville, Texas.
The Shonto Ranch, consisting of 1,100 acres, is located just 8 miles SW of Kerrville. The cornerstone of their hunting operation is BIG Scimitar Horned Oryx, Axis and Blackbuck, and of course Whitetail. The ranch currently holds the #10 Non-Typical SCI Axis, #12 Typical SCI Axis (it would be #7 Typ, but it’s in velvet) and #14 Typical Axis. They have huge, world record class, axis and oryx.
“I would put there axis and oryx up against any ranch in the country. We are typically killing 35+” axis with 12+” eye guards and 10+” caudal tines, 36+” oryx and blackbuck in the 17-18″ range”, says Wes Mundy, owner and operator of Double Diamond Outfiiters.
This exotic hunting mecca has 4 miles of river running through it as well as 10 stocked tanks. Each year we stock rainbow trout in the 3-4 pound range and of course there’s bass, perch and catfish. Hunters stay in one of the houses on the ranch, the “Creek House”, which sits atop a hill overlooking the river/creek and has a big back porch with a great view of the river. There’s a big covered pavilion area right on the banks of the river with a hot tub, full kitchen with tables/chairs and bbq pits, outdoor stereo. All of this overlooks a beautiful swimming area in the river with concrete steps and handrail to provide easy access. This is one of the most beautiful ranches in Texas and has exceptional animals. Definitely 5 star and can easily handle corporate groups, and families as well as individual hunters. We can accommodate bow hunts as well as rifle/pistol hunts.

Wes Mundy, of Double Diamond Outfitters, sent us this picture of nine year-old Evan’s first axis deer taken recently. The pic included a few notes about the hunt:
“…Evan, with his 1st axis buck. He made a 1-shot kill
this past weekend in South TX at 100 yards with his 7mm-08.”
Congrats, Evan, from all of us at AAE! We look forward to seeing more great exotic trophies in your hunting future!
