Goodman Ranch is proud to offer premier Axis deer hunting in Tennessee. For over fifteen years, we have carefully managed a strong and mature herd, allowing us to provide hunters with world-class opportunities for trophy-class Axis deer. Because of the size and maturity of our herd, these hunts are challenging and rewarding—especially for bow and muzzleloader hunters seeking a true test of skill.
While Axis deer can be hunted year-round, our hunts are limited based on the natural antler cycle. At any given time, our herd will include stags in velvet, stags with hard antlers, and those recently shed—ensuring fresh trophy opportunities throughout the year.



Axis deer, also known as Chital deer, were originally imported from Southeast Asia, with their largest populations in India. They are widely regarded as one of the most beautiful exotic deer species, featuring a reddish coat with distinctive white spots.
Axis stags are not only a remarkable trophy but also prized for their meat. Known as the leanest red meat of any wild game, Axis venison is 99% fat free and has a mild, delicious flavor due to their grazing diet. Many hunters consider Axis venison the best-tasting wild game available.
