The Big Thicket is a federal preserve that spreads over more than 113,000 acres of Southeast Texas. It’s home to wide variety of animal life – but not axis deer.
Axis deer are not supposed to just roam freely in Southeast Texas. They’re an invasive species, legally in the same category as feral hogs. Acting fast is crucial to keeping such an animal from gaining a foothold in an ecosystem, according to Warren Conway, professor and chair of wildlife management at Texas Tech University.
