RE: Deer Breed ?

Hutch,

That is called a Melanistic Deer. Melanistic means the deer has an increased amount of black or nearly black pigmentation. It is a genetic trait, just like a person with brown hair or dark skin. Geneticly the deer is no less or greater, but most biologist, ranch managers, and/ or consultants would rather have that animal out of their herd.

If you have any more questions or comments, feel free to contact me.

Sincerely,
Cameron Crow
