Description
Axis Deer - Spotted Deer - Chital by Debra Martz I hate to admit that I shot this beautiful deer....with my zoom lens extended to 600mm and from the comfort of my camp chair. While there is a deer hunting season which includes the Axis, I only shoot with my camera.
The Axis Deer was introduced to Texas in 1932. They are native to India where they are called Chital or Cheetal. They are also referred to as spotted deer.
I captured this image and others of these beauties, on a summer day in South Llano River State Park near Junction, Texas. On one morning, a herd of approximately 40 moved through this wooded area at our campsite. That was a wow moment!!
