White tail or Axis fawn?

These photos were taken in east texas. I am not aware of any high fences close by and I have never heard of free roaming axis in the area, but I was wondering if these deer could be axis or just white tail that kept their spots too late? Time and date are correct and this is a low fence property.

They look like Axis to me....

Those are axis. Several high fenced exotic ranches in deep East Texas. My cousin has one in Lufkin. Where abouts in east Tx?

Axis for sure

What county you in? With all the flooding we had this fall I am sure some exotics escaped.

Both axis for sure and I can only hope to see this on my cameras one day!

Where around Lufkin?


For sure axis, unless that you're talking to that megafawn photographer.

Axis for sure

Axis no doubt.

I would love to see a population of axis in east Texas. Don't know if they could survive in northeast Texas where I hunt though

Towards Hudson.

I would love to see a population of axis in east Texas also. This is Rusk county

By chance are you near mt. Enterprise? I drive through there on my way to Cass county and was pretty sure I had seen an axis last year going up 315 towards carthage

Axis, my parents live on lake Tawakoni and have seen several over the years wandering along the lake bank.

anything is possible I guess, but there are no white tailed fawns in January......just saying

I've heard that people around Tawakoni have seen them before as well but never laid eyes on any myself. I'd love to have them in the area.

I saw this posted on Youtube a while back about a heard in Southeast Dallas County

The place off Bonner Rd?

Axis

3258? Yes. You know Gary?

My vote is for Axis also.

I'm no expert, but the neck looks too long for a WT, and the head and face look a little small for a WT. Axis are shootable all year long, right?

Yep, great eating too.

If you look real close you can see the black line that runs down the back confirming they are Axis

Land owner we leased from in Houston county released several thinking they'd hang around to hunt. Don't think he ever saw one after turning loose, but that's been probably 10 years ago. Probably 30 miles from rusk.

Axis no question. That's bad ace

Axis, for sure!

Looks Axis!

Axis. Taste a lot better
