Axis deer are undeniably beautiful and considered one of the most attractive of all wild deer. Their iconic horns and reddish-brown spotted coats make them unique. Axis deer are one of the best tasting wild game meats and is a staple to our ranch menu. Native to India, the axis deer also known as Chital were first introduced to Texas in 1932 and has since exploded on the scene with a native free roaming population throughout the state with some estimates over 100,000!
Axis Deer can be hunted year round at El Papalote Ranch, although Oct – Feb and April – June are typically the best times as we have both Summer and Winter hard horned bucks.
