A Pere David Deer Taken in Mason, Texas at The Wildlife Ranch. These deer are gray in color. The Males have antlers with multiple branches and very long brow points. A male is quite large weighing 400 pounds with females weighing about 200 pounds. Many years ago, a Catholic priest named Father David ( in French Pere David ) built a high fence and put a few of these deer inside. Later, they became totally extinct in the wild. These became the last remnants of the specie. Game ranching rescued a species. The same concept continues on.
