Exotic game hunting is an option that many hunters have while hunting in Texas. This is one of the few hunting activities that are available to people year round. People are able to find and hunt big game on private and public ranches. In order to do it legally, all hunters must purchase a license that permits them to do so.

Capturing Big Game while Exotic Game Hunting
Fallow deer is a common animal that is shot down when exotic game hunting. Originally from the Mediterranean parts of Europe and Asia Minor, they are now one of the most common kinds of deer on every continent. In Texas, you can find fallow deer in over 90 of the states counties. In the late 80s, it was believed that the state was home to 14,000 plus fallow deer.

Fallow deer can be described as a medium sized, range deer. The adult males have huge palmate antlers while females, like most deer, do not have any. There are several different colors that they can be seen in, the most common color being rust with white spots and with a white patch on the butt and the belly.

The popularity of exotic game hunting in Texas has become so large that private ranches have opened their doors for hunting vacations. They will provide you with a place to stay, food, and ways to get to the good hunting grounds on their property. These vacation packages can be found and purchased very easily online.
