Fallow Deer

We hunt Fallow Deer via spot and stalk, safari style and sometimes from a blind and you may hunt them with a bow, rifle, black powder or handgun. We can accommodate hunters of any age and experience level.

The Fallow Deer is native to the Mediterranean region of Europe and Asia Minor. The Romans helped spread Fallow Deer across Europe during their rule. The fallow deer was introduced to 93 Texas counties, primarily in the Edwards Plateau region. In 1988, the Texas population was estimated to be 14,163, both free-ranging and confined animals combined.

The adult male Fallow Deer stands between 32 and 48 inches high at the shoulder and weighs up to 200 pounds. Fallow Deer antlers are broadly palmated with several small tines and 1 large tine arising from the back of the palm, known as the heal-tine.  A good set of Fallow antlers will measure at least 28 inches in length with an inside span of 24 inches or more and have upwards of 20 points. Fallow deer in Texas naturally appear in three different color schemes: chocolate, spotted and white. 

Many folks believe Fallow deer are the hardest fighters during the rut and many Fallow die due to the severity of these tests of domination! The call of the Fallow Deer is called groaning and sounds similar to rapid burping. Given their antler size and height, Fallow Deer prefer to go under obstacles rather than jump over!

Fallow Venison makes an excellent meal and is considered by many to be one of the top five best tasting exotics to eat. 

There are no restrictions on hunting the Fallow Deer in Texas and we hunt them from early August to the end of January. 

We hunt both Fallow bucks and does. Prices for bucks vary based on antler size.
