What’s the draw to hunt axis deer? Introduced to Texas in the 1930s, the climate and terrain has helped this species thrive, as it is similar to their native homeland of India. Axis deer, also called chital, are prized for their beautiful spotted coats and large antlers which most commonly present with three tines per side. Trophy axis bucks offer a stunning mount and their meat is some of the most tender and mild of all wild game. Cotton Mesa has carefully cultivated a healthy breeding population of axis deer and we are known for our large axis bucks. Axis deer are smart and wary which means the guided axis deer hunts at Cotton Mesa are incredibly exciting and challenging.
