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.

That is a very cool pic. I never, or heard of, a black deer. That is really cool. Really nice rack to. To the guy who said let it walk and take a pic, well most ppl don't carry cameras in the woods, and other people could still see it, this person just has to invite the people over her house to see it.
Like someone else said it does look like a cross between a bull and a deer. Very nice though.
