Have you ever seen a black
white tail before?
The photo came from Michigan with this note --
"this black deer (Melanistic color
phase), is even more rare than an albino".

I have seen a black doe before about ten years ago. It was not even close to that black though. Wow! The one I saw was shining and my only witness was one of my friends. About 20 yards off the road. Thought I was seeing things and so did everyone that we told. Cool pic.

This buck was actually taken Texas..
On the morning of Jan. 3, 2004, we decided to make one more hunt. We hoped to get a doe to take to a new meat market we'd found in nearby New Braunfels. As usual, my friend insisted I take his stand. And so, before daylight I was again in the stand, which is in a pasture of broken cover with quite a few open grassy areas.
It was a typical Hill Country morning, with a light fog but no wind and mild temperatures. At first light, I saw a dark shape move between clumps of cover. As this ranch has cattle, I assumed a calf was moving across the pasture. Thinking no more of it, I put my head down for a few minutes, trying to reduce the anxiety of waiting for shooting light.
