With the abundance of the Axis deer mostly will we ever see large populations expand to East Texas? Are exotic deer having any unintended consequences to the states eco system?

An animal that tastes better than whitetail, has no hunting restrictions, and looks great on the wall / couch? I'm relatively confident low-fence boys in east Texas won't let those populations get out of hand.

Seriously. It's amazing the whitetail population isn't extinct there. One of the things I hate most about East Texas.

Watching many of the inspected deer killed on lonestar law, it would appear many of the hunters shoot anything that has knub of an antler.

thought axis deer where more grazers than browsers? My guess is they won't want to migrate to East Texas.

I know in South CS there are few that are free ranging. But they got out and don't drift to where hunters would dispatch them.

Indian Lakes is outside the city limits but would need one of the 10+ acre lots to discharge a firearm/bow. (Or would need to be very stealthy.)

Absolutely not! They are heavy competitors with white tail for forbs and quality browse, with the ability to switch to grass as needed.
Being in TexAgs jail changes a man……..no, not really

Ok didn't know, there aren't that many loose in ETX, I've seen some in height fence places only. If they get,out, they get dead

We have hundreds of free range in the hill country and they love our fertilized coastal fields. Here is one I shot.

That looks like a whitetail with spots. Maybe I missed the joke.

Even the fawns on the high fenced places have monster racks...
