They originate from Asia. Axis is a medium size deer with crisp, white spots on the bright chestnut coat. White bib at the throat and a black stripe down the back. The body is compact with dainty legs. Young are colored like adults and all sexes are the same color. Males grow antlers that are tall, graceful, and simple with long brow tines as much as 18 in. Lengths typically 22 to 27 in with some larger at 30 in. Exceptionally matured males would measure 36 to 41 in. Some males are in hard antler at any season, but most during May through December. Most are in velvet from February through March. This just depends on the Bucks birthday. Male weight 145 to 250 lbs and female weight 95 to 145 lbs.
