This pic was taken just west of Buda, Texas which is just south of Austin.

50 years ago I hunted a large ranch in buda that had black deer back then. I saw a black doe and yearling on that trip. I have read that they occur more in that area than any place in Texas.

Melanistic deer are somewhat commonplace in our part of Blanco Co. Absolutely beautiful. By late summer they're almost a dark chocolate color. A genetic anomaly for sure.

With the never seen crowd! Thanks for sharing

That doe was bred about the first week of October . 205-210 days. I always count back when I start seeing fawns to try to determine when the does were bred to help determine the rut in that specific area.

Melanistic deer is what you are talking about. I saw one standing in the Guadalupe river while I was kayaking 7-8 years ago and had to search for black deer to find out what I saw.

Once the doe goes black...
