In March, axis deer are in velvet, roughly from April to July. Their antlers are growing in a soft, velvety skin, preparing for the rut. Velvet is the soft nutrient rich covering that protects the tears of antlers while they are developing, keeping them rich in blood flow and shielded from the harsh winter weather. Axis deer, like all deer, grow antlers each year around this time. The velvet protects the growing antlers and keeps them warm as these spring temperatures fluctuate. Axis deer are a popular exotic target for hunters at Cotton Mesa Trophy Whitetail Ranch. They are known for their large antlers and beautiful coats, making them one of the most sought after exotic species to hunt in Texas.
The best time to hunt axis deer at Cotton Mesa Trophy Whitetail Ranch is late spring through early summer. As the deer prepare to rut, they become more active and increasingly aggressive, making for a rewarding and challenging hunt. The rut itself follows shortly after providing even more of a challenge as dominant males compete for breeding rights. The experienced guides at Cotton Mesa Trophy Whitetail Ranch are deeply experienced in tracking and following your habits to locate large trophies for harvest.
