Justice of the peace Henry Welfel pronounced the man dead at 3:49 p.m., said Captain Herb Tucker of the Victoria County Sheriff's Department.
The accident happened on a private deer lease on Farm-to-Market Road 444 off Wilson Road, north of Victoria.
The man's identity was not released Tuesday afternoon because his family had not been notified, the captain said.
The man lost his footing while refilling a deer feeder and fell onto a stake securing the feeder, Tucker said.
The man was last seen around 1 p.m. by others on the deer lease.
Tucker said that an ambulance was sent to the deer lease, but the man was dead by the time the medics arrived.
Welfel pronounced the man dead at the scene and ordered an autopsy.
Adrian Fulton of Victoria Mortuary Service said the autopsy will be today at the Travis County Medical Examiner's office in Austin.
