Dude that's about the coolest thing that I've seen. I've never heard of a black deer.

Absolutely amazing looking deer. I have seen some pics of deer like that...truly a uniquie and beautiful trophy

Thanks again for the kind words!!

Antler Eater...I don't to be the envy of the board.

I just wanted to share my story and pictures of my unique deer.
The more I read about Melanistic deer the more excited I got about getting him.

I just thank God that Iwasn't seriously injuried with the ax cutting meopen and being able to make it to my stand the following morning.
Ireally feel blessed to have arare deer showup to my stand too!

That is awesome! Definately a trophy!

great trophy man!!! i would definately try to get a full body mount of him. talk about a conversation piece. congrats!!!

I'd get a full mount as well. You are a very lucky guy. Only a full mount will do that buck justice.

Awesome. Congrats on a great buck. Glad your ok.

Cool buck. His coloration is like a sika deer.
