text:  is to hunt axis deer. I have some wonderful trophies on the wall, some incredible steaks in the freezer, and some memories that'll keep me smiling for a lifetime. My favorite place to hunt axis deer, down in the Texas Hill Country, on Joshua Creek Ranch with my friends Joe and Ann Kirchival. That's where I was when I dialed up my old buddy, Larry Wysoon. We have a mutual admiration for the Kirchivals, their beautiful ranch, and the axis deer.
