More than 30 whitetail deer come running when Brenda Dlugosh scatters corn about 9 a.m. every morning at her home on nine acres in a subdivision in North Bexar County. An unusual fawn showed up in the summer of 2009. It was dark black from nose to tail, which had white underneath. Her twin, a buck, was colored normally except for a little black on his face. “I’d never seen a black deer before,” Dlugosh said. Her husband, Tony Franckowiak, christened her Chupi, short for Chupacabra. more http://www.expressnews.com/sports/outdoo...oe-12543543.php

Not that rare. I’ve seen several over the years in bexar and comal
Very neat looking deer though
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

It’s not rare, there, but it is overall. This only occurs in a couple isolated areas nationwide.

Very cool I have never seen one Me either. I have seen a piebald doe before, but never seen a melanistic whitetail.

I saw one that was hit by a car, near Canyon lake. My FIL has one mounted that he killed years ago, near Buda in Hays county.

Saw a melanistic spike around Sweetwater several years back. I watched it for nearly an hour with several doe. One of which was a really light blonde color.

We have two in our neighborhood that come through our yard every week or two. The black doe had a black fawn this year, so now we have two. They really are very pretty.

Great pics! Love seeing these! I was lucky enough to got a 10pt melanistic whitetail buck in Nov 2016. Here's the link to the complete story: www.MapMyRanch.com/Black-Beauty.html A sub article that explains melanism:

Wonder how they taste........Don't really care for dark meat.... Not sure if you are joking or not, so forgive my answer if you were just joking. They taste the same as a regular whitetail - only difference is the coloration - everything internally is the same.

This fellow shows up around our house every month or so. Also have a doe around. Not real common in Comal county, but not very rare either.

I saw a very black doe in San Saba county this year. We have seen some deer that had a much darker color before but this was the first real dark black.
