Axis are widespread enough to offer really interesting free range hunts. On high fence ranches they offer a far better hunt than the whitetail because they rarely use feeders . Whitetail tend to be more an issue of selecting the one you want for the wall. Unless the property is huge, fallow stags are, at least in my experience, a terrible choice to hunt behind a fence. They very quickly become habituated to humans and tend to stand around staring trustingly.
The free range one that I took several years ago in Austria was an exceptional experience.
