Bowhunting For Axis Deer In Hawaii During The Summer Rut Part 1 

Thanks. I definitely like chasing big mature bucks, but I’m not going to kill things that won’t be eaten.

Thanks! Basically take the Backstraps, Tenderloin, neck meat and the front and rear quarters. It was a quartering away shot which didn’t exit the opposing shoulder so all the cuts were good on this guy.

Thanks! Yes, I’m shooting the Halon. The broadhead is a 100gr SEVR. They’ve worked well thus far. 🤙🏼

Mark Healey I just ordered the 2.0 servr broadheads pumped for try them out.

I use a range finder, but in the first instance I ranged different clumps of grass before any animals showed up. There were depressions in the terrain, so I could only range things that were 12 yards or so apart. When that first group of deer came in, the one I was targeting was standing in one of those depressions, so I estimated that it was half way between two previously raged spots. I had does looking in my direction from 18yds, so couldn't range him or they would have picked out the movement. My estimation ended up being further than he actually was and with the way these deer can jump a string it put my arrow sailing about 3" above his back

Thanks for the question!

Eat an athlete to be an athlete! 🦌 💪

Thanks! No, I left it. We had some miles and a couple thousand vert to get back to the camp and I wasn’t feeling too motivated to carry any unnecessary weight.

Mark Healey I believe you owe it to the stag to take the rack. The meat will ‘come & go’, however each rack is unique & is forever! 🦌

Thanks. I think the Tenderloin has got to be the best. I go simple with just salt and pepper on the grill.

Oh my god, that sounds ono.

The heart is the right up there with the tender lions

Check out the Pineapple Brothers website. They do hunts on Lanai

Dominique Lawson there is one outfitter on Maui that costs 2,000 dollars to shoot one buck and a couple does. The bucks are huge there and the chances are plentiful

Hahaha! Gotta get the young boy in shape! 😂

There’s definitely a learning curve 🤙🏼
