AXIS DEER FAQs
Axis Deer trophies range in size, however the average is about 25-30 inches. Axis Deer trophies are judged based on the overall length of the main beam. The main beam is one of the three tines that Axis Deer have on each antler. The other two tines are the brow tine and the terminal fork.
