“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…)

It’s been a busy Spring at Brushy Creek Outdoors. Lots of big exotics have hit the dirt. We wanted to share a few with you…
Ruben Garza of San Antonio, Texas, took this magnificent axis buck (left) in full velvet this past weekend. The buck sports 33″ main beams and had a 26 & 1/2″ inside spread. Brushy Creek owner, Glen Molitor told us that Ruben had been chasing a big axis for two years and as a result of this hunt he left a “happy camper”!
Hunter, Eric Click was equally successful. He was fortunate enough to harvest a unique red stag (right) that possessed a double crown. A tremendous trophy for any exotic lover!
