Melanistic Whitetail
Melanistic whitetails are very rare, even more rare than piebald or albino deer. You can recognize a melanistic deer because their bodies produce far too much of the pigment known as melanin which makes them much darker than your average whitetail. Of the millions of deer taken each year only a few with melanism have been reported. Most people don't know they exist due to the extreme rarity, making a melonistic buck a true trophy.

Wow...that's cool. Where can I get one? Anyone have any idea where they are more common. Maybe common isn't the work for it. Anyone know where there have been multipal sitings?

That is one awesome color phase , I've never seen one like that.
If I do I hope he's in my bow sights , he would make a fine torphy mount.
