If you're looking to add something special to your trophy room, this fully guided Fallow Deer hunt with Angry Goat Outfitters is exactly what you need. West Texas offers some of the best exotic hunting in the country, and these Fallow Deer are hands down one of the most striking animals you'll ever pursue. Their broad palmated antlers and incredible coat variations—from classic spotted to deep chocolate brown—make them a standout trophy that'll have your hunting buddies asking questions for years. This is a private land hunt, so you're not dealing with crowds or public land headaches. Just you, an experienced guide, and some of the most beautiful exotic game Texas has to offer.
This hunt takes place on prime private acreage in West Texas, where Fallow Deer have adapted perfectly to the terrain and climate. You'll be working with seasoned guides who know these animals inside and out—their feeding patterns, preferred bedding areas, and how they move throughout the day. The landscape here is classic Texas hill country mixed with open pastures and scattered oak mottes, giving you multiple hunting scenarios depending on wind and weather conditions. Your guide will glass potential trophy bucks early, then work with you to plan the perfect approach. These deer can be curious but they're not pushovers—they've got keen eyesight and will test your patience and shooting skills. The hunt is designed for one hunter, so you get the full attention of your guide and won't be competing with other hunters for the best opportunities.
West Texas terrain gives you several advantages when hunting Fallow Deer. The rolling hills provide excellent vantage points for glassing, while the scattered brush and tree lines offer natural concealment for your approach. Your guide will likely start the day by checking known feeding areas and water sources—Fallow Deer need regular water access, especially during warmer months. They're most active during early morning and late afternoon, similar to whitetails, but they'll often feed longer into the morning than other deer species. The key is patience and smart positioning. These deer have a tendency to circle back on their trails, so your guide might set you up along escape routes rather than just targeting feeding areas. Wind direction is critical—Fallow Deer have excellent noses and will bust you quickly if you're not paying attention to thermals. The open country means longer shots are possible, so make sure you're comfortable with your rifle and have practiced at various distances before your trip.
Fallow Deer are genuinely unique among Texas exotics, and once you see one up close, you'll understand why hunters get so excited about them. Mature bucks can weigh anywhere from 130 to 200 pounds, with the real trophies pushing closer to that upper range. What sets them apart are those incredible palmated antlers—they start as typical points but then flatten out into broad, shovel-like paddles that are unlike anything else in North America. The antler development follows their European genetics, reaching peak size around 6 to 8 years old. Color variations make every buck unique—you might encounter the classic golden-brown with white spots, solid chocolate brown, or even the rare white variety. They rut in October and November, which makes fall hunting particularly exciting as bucks become more vocal and aggressive. During this time, you might hear their distinctive grunting roars echoing across the pastures. Unlike some exotics that can seem almost domesticated, Fallow Deer maintain strong survival instincts and provide a legitimate hunting challenge. They're browsers and grazers, feeding on native grasses, forbs, and acorns when available, which keeps them healthy and in prime condition year-round in the Texas climate.
This Fallow Deer hunt represents everything that makes Texas exotic hunting special—quality animals, private land access, and experienced guides who know how to put you on trophy game. The fact that you're hunting solo means your guide can adapt the hunt to your experience level and shooting preferences without compromise. Whether you're a seasoned hunter looking to diversify your trophy collection or someone who wants to experience something completely different from typical North American game, this hunt delivers. The palmated antlers and unique coloration of Fallow Deer create a trophy that stands out in any collection, and the hunting experience itself will give you stories worth telling. Lodging and meals can be arranged if you want to make it a full weekend experience, but the hunt itself is structured to maximize your time in the field. Don't wait on this one—quality Fallow Deer hunts on private Texas land are becoming more popular every season, and Angry Goat Outfitters has built a reputation for putting hunters on exceptional trophies. Book your hunt today and get ready to pursue one of the most distinctive exotic species Texas has to offer.
