After my first hunt for axis deer (aka "chital"), and especially after biting into an axis steak, I was captivated by these mysterious spotted deer. As an "exotic" species, you can hunt axis deer in Texas 24/7/365. Axis venison is insanely delicious—reason enough to hunt them—and the pursuit of this handsome and cagey species is genuinely thrilling. The blood-curdling roar of an axis buck will leave you breathless, and watching his antlers sway through the Texas brush will give you a whole new strain of buck fever.
