The spot and stalk method is best to use when hunting Axis Deer. Spot and stalk hunting is one of the more rigorous methods of hunting big game. This hunting method consists of stalking your prey until you come within a safe shooting distance, without alerting the animal to your presence. Spot and stalk hunting works well for Axis Deer because of the fact that they generally travel in single file and on specific paths, which makes them easier to follow.

Axis Deer have quite a long hunting season that lasts from March to November. In the hotter months, Axis Deer tend to gather in shady areas and the majority of their foraging occurs before sunrise and in the late afternoon.

The Axis Deer is a very large species of deer. They are often referred to as the “Spotted Deer” due to their numerous dramatic white spots, which contrast to their rich dark brown color. Axis Deer are high legged, with thick necks and long heads. Males tend to be larger in size while females typically have thicker necks and chests. Males are also darker in color, and their coats continue to darken with age. Interestingly, Axis Deer also have long and notable eyelashes.
