Trophy Fallow Deer Hunting
Hunting Exotic Deer In Texas Year Round
The decision to of which species to go after when hunting exotic deer in Texas was a hard one for Stephen "Stevie" Hughes. "The hill country ranch I was going to offered too many choices. Among them fallow deer, mouflon sheep, red deer, blackbuck antelope, axis deer and others I never heard of before."|

"I finally settled on pursuing a trophy fallow deer", Hughes reported. "They're sorted like whitetails, only European. So fallow deer hunting tactics are similar to what I already knew" "I found they were a bit smaller than our deer. They'll typically weigh in at 180 to 200 pounds. Still the rack the one I took was more than respectable." |
Stevie went on, "What I liked most was their their antlers are are what are "palmated". Sorta like moose maybe. I can't explain it. But I found that fascinating."
Even on a hunting ranch, chasing exotics like fallows can be quite the chess match. Despite an experienced guide, there's still some scouting to do, hanging stands and close encounters with truly trophy bucks.
This adds up to exciting hunting with the risk or cost of leaving the good ole US of A.
For those who love to hunt, going after exotics adds a whole 'nother dimension to hunting.
Hunting exotic deer in Texas offers year round opportunities to hunt in some cases. And given the size of some of these ranches it ain't exactly like shooting longhorns in a pen. Far from it.
Besides as Eddie Potts, preserve operator pointed out, "The state of Texas can boast of larger herds of animals than now exist in their original homeland." In fact a financially self sustaining hunting ranch for exotics can do more to preserve a species than many tree huggers ever could.
Hunting exotic deer in Texas, such as trophy fallow deer, is certainly an option for those sportsman hankering to take a shot at some of the most amazing and exciting animals one could ever imagine.
