Free Range Axis Deer Hunting

Axis Deer, native to India, called chital meaning “spotted deer” in Hindustani, retains its rich chestnut coat and vibrant white spots thru maturity. The challenging Axis Deer have similar habits of our native whitetail deer, and are extremely wary and flighty making for a difficult and rewarding hunt. The Texas Hill Country region boasts over 30,000 Axis Deer with our ranches centralized in the heart of this area.

Desert Safaris is fortunate to have 3 properties secured in central Texas that encompass over 8,000 acres of the most prime free-range Axis Deer hunting habitat to be found anywhere. Mature Axis bucks will live weigh in at 175-200 lbs and have antler beams from 30”-36” with heavy antlers, long brow tines and big secondary points. Most of our client’s Axis bucks are gold medal record book SCI category entries.

Our method for free range Axis Deer hunting on these properties consists of safari-style, spot-stalk and frequent glassing of canyons in the dense hill country brush. During the peak times of the rut (June-August) clients can reasonably expect to see 50-75 different Axis bucks daily on these ranches with extremely good trophy potential. During the breeding season Axis Deer “roar” similar to a Red Stag and this is truly a special time of the year to hunt hearing the vocalization of a mature Axis buck..."Guaranteed to send a chill through any sportsman".

We are one of the few free range Axis Deer Hunting operations in Texas that only charges a daily hunting fee per person and a trophy fee upon Axis buck harvest (no harvest-no pay policy). Our previous customers have experienced a 100% success rate the past eight years on these ranches with Axis bucks up to 35” being taken annually. Clients traveling by commercial air service will fly into San Antonio TX where we meet you and transport to the ranch which is a short 1 ½ hour drive time. Contact us and reserve your spot for the best free-range axis deer hunting to be found anywhere in North America, you’ll be glad you did.
