Yes! As others have stated a melanistic deer is more rare than an Albino!. The albino is a genetic rarity of less than 1/2 % of the population. Piebalds are about 2-3 % and a melanistice is less than the albino. For some reason, most of the melanistics are in Texas! See this site for more inof:

Thanks for the picture!! A great looking animal and I'd love to have one to mount, with pride in my home.
