Melanistic Buck

[JPHunting]

When they breed do they pass on their melanistic genes often?

We have quite a few melanistic does here in Bulverde. I've never seen a buck. One of the melanistic does had a melanistic fawn a few years ago.

I live in Bulverde as well and I can remember there being a few in our area for a long time. Never seen a buck, but several does. They are beautiful deer.

We have a buck on the comal bexar county line. Saw him a couple years ago as a fawn. And he reappeared this year. But he was still to young to shoot

Thanks for sharing.
That area of Texas seems to have the market cornered on “black” deer.
I saw two in Buda (Doe and fawn). 55 years of hunting and watching deer all over Texas and the only ones I have ever seen.

Pretty good number in Caldwell county along Plum Creek near you in Seguin. Dr Baccus (retired wildlife professor at SWT) did a lot of research on them in that area.
