I think she is crossed with a chupacabra

LOL...that was my first thought! It is great to know there are others out there who have the same weird thoughts as I have

Being new to Texas I wasn't familiar with melanistic deer; pretty darn interesting!

Found this: The odd "black" deer has shown up here and there, from the East Coast to the Great Lakes to the northern Rockies. In fact, below you'll find a photo of a striking melanistic 8-pointer shot in southeastern Pennsylvania in 2002. But it's safe to say that at any given time, there are now more melanistic whitetails alive in Central Texas than in every other part of the planet combined. Melanism is actually fairly common in all or parts of eight counties: Hays, Travis, Comal, Williamson, Blanco, Guadalupe, Burnet and Caldwell.

Do a full body mount to show the rest of camp what a mature animal looks like.

Duck Sausage will pay to have it done & display in his house.

I think you ought to leave her be and let her finish out her life and just enjoy seeing her if you get the chance. Besides, as poor as she is......it looks like she's knocking on death's door anyway.

I wonder how the buck that bred her got drunk.

That's a gran-matriarch doe. Her poor condition may take her out before season gets rolling... but that old girl has EARNED A TIP-O-THE-HAT (honestly, no telling how many great bucks she's fawned), not a broadhead.


...but that's just me.

That would make one heck of a full body mount!!!!!! She looks real old and skinny... put a arrow threw her pumpstation
