The Axis Deer is native to the Indian subcontinent. It is considered to be the most beautiful of deer with a bright reddish coat marked with rows of white spots that persist throughout life. Antlers of males are large but simple, usually with only three points per side and can grow in excess of 38 inches. The axis deer was first introduced into Texas in the 1930s and now occurs in at least 45 counties.
