What a great photo. Thanks for sharing.

They will most likely look chocolate when grown. I too have never seen fawns that dark. Melanistic deer are cool looking

Cool pic! But I gotta say, it's 2017 and we still can't post a pic to tbh? [emoji23]

Just kidding man

I knew about melanistic deer but had no idea the fawns were solid black.

[Deepwoods]

Very cool, have not seen this before. Will be on the lookout in my area.

[CabezaBlanca]

That's a great photo, thanks for sharing. This time of the year is my favorite for trail cam pics.

Thanks for posting the pic, these are Melanistic whitetail deer. You can see how dark the doe is. The largest concentration of Melanistic whitetails are in Hays, Comal and Travis Counties.

And Williamson and Caldwell county I believe. Largest population in the country. Pretty little fawns

Once the doe goes black...

Lol! Or once we go black.....

[CoolArrow]

That's cool. Learn something new every day. Never knew they existed

I bet a male black panther knocked her up.

Them black panthers are always after white tail

I knew about melanistic deer but had no idea the fawns were solid black.

Me either...that has gotta suck from their camouflage aspect.

Great pic! Thanks for sharing that!
