FWIW
This is a LINK to the story and picture of the almost black melanistic deer my buddy shot a years ago that I mentioned above.

Very unusual coloring.

Interesting timing on this thread. Two weeks ago my wife called to tell me that a deer had run into her car. (Not in front of, but into the rear quarter panel). She swore up and down that she saw it run off, and that it was a black deer. I told her she must have been confused and that I'd never seen or heard of one. Having a black squirrel on the wall and seeing pics of some melanistic big cats, it would be hard for me to rule it out though. Damned if two friends weren't a few cars behind, but not realizing it was she, and saw the whole thing. What did they describe? A black deer running into the side of a white car.

UCRT, that deer is DARK. Nice rack too.
