Is that a true melanistic deer? I didn't think they had that much white?

Very cool, more rare than a albino or piebald. Now if he'd only grow 4 points on the other side, he'd have my name on him.

Cool pics! I've heard of them but never actually saw a photo of one. That is a real special deer, hopefully he lives in a secluded spot and can grow to be a mature buck without someone trying to poach him.

Thats a cool pic, a guy near where I live killed on two years ago, it was a really ugly deer. I saw on the picit was submitted by Gene Wensel, so Im sure it may be in a spot to grow big. If you dont know,, he and his twin brother, Barry,are pretty well known traditional archers, and heve been around for a long time, and are very good hunters, I think they even made a trad broadhead years ago called the Wensel Woodsman. A few years ago, they were both hunting a huge nontypical buck I think thye had named him Woody, and one of them actually got him on video, and was in North American Whitetail with it, It was huge! Not sure of the score, but big.
