Murray, the Axis deer is originally from India, but I feel sure the major world wide population of Axis is now centered in Kerr County, Texas. The urban myth is that Captain Eddie Rickenbacker (sp) imported a few and placed them on a ranch or his ranch just north of San Antonio, Texas in the Boerne, Texas area. There was a lot of rain and a flood and it washed a lot of the water gaps out and the few he had escaped into the surrounding hill country. They have flourised over the years and now may even out number the white tail around here. ,That's my story and I'm stickin' to it.
