Axis Deer |
|
| The Axis Deer are considered to be the most beautiful of the cervids. They have a black dorsal stripe and are profusely spotted with white on a fawn background, shading from almost black or pinkish brown on the back to white on the under parts. Bucks are larger than does, with broader chest and darker facial markers. The males' antlers curve in a lyre shape with up to three points on each antler. The antlers are shed annually on the deer's own clock, so in one herd there may occur newly shed bucks, hard horn bucks, and bucks in the velvet. |

Buffalo have a shaggy, dark brown winter coat, and a lighter brown (and lighter weight) summer coat. Buffalo can reach over 2 m (6 feet) tall, 3 m (10 ft) long and weigh over 900 kg (2,000 pounds). The heads and forequarters are massive, and both sexes have short, curved horns, which they use in fighting for status within the herd and defense. Buffalo mate in August and September; a single reddish-brown calf is born the following spring, and nurses for a year. Buffalo are mature at three years of age, and have a life expectancy of 18–22 years. |

Their antlers usually measure 1 -1.5 m across tip to tip. Males often weigh twice as much as females. Wapiti are known for their loud bugling during the rut.2 |

| Fallow Deer | |
Trophy fee: $1250.00 and up |
A
medium sized, "rangy" deer; adult males with large palmate
antlers. Bucks develop "spike" antlers beginning in their
first year and until 3-4 years old, grow and cast only antlers
comprised of beams and simple points. At 3-4 years of age males may
develop antlers with broad, palmate areas that measure 8-25 cm in
width; total length of antlers is up to 39 cm.
Coloration is highly variable, but four color forms predominate: 1) common — rust color with white rump patch and belly, white spots on back and sides merging into a white line along the lower side and near the rump on the haunches; a black line runs down the back and often connects with the black upper surface of the tail; in winter, spots become indistinct; 2) menil — contrasts with common color form in that ground coloration is tan rather than rust and dorsal lines are brown rather than black; white spotting remains distinct in winter coat; 3) white — coloration is white, with dark eyes; not true albinism; and 4) black — very dark (but not truly black); spotting barely visible; in winter appears as dull brown. In Texas, black, white, and menil color forms predominate. Fallow deer stand 91-97 cm at the shoulder and appear thin. Males weigh 79-102 kg but may lose 9-23 kg during rut. Females weigh 36-41 kg.6 |

| White-Tail Deer | |
| The deer can be recognized by its characteristic white tail, which it raises as a signal of alarm and is typically seen in its escape. The male (also known as a buck) usually weighs from 130 to (in rare cases) 350 pounds (60 to 160 kg), depending on the gene pools and feed in a certain area. The female (doe) usually weighs between 90 and 130 pounds (50 to 60 kg), but they will frequently weigh in excess of 130 lb (60 kg). The deer's coat is a reddish - brown in the spring and summer, and turns to a grey-brown throughout the fall. The bucks shed their antlers around February, and begin growing them back in the early spring. In northern regions, the mating season (also known as the rut) is short, about two weeks long, while the breeding season in Mexico is nearly all year long. The mating season is dependent on the moon and sun.2 |
