COUESAZ Report post Posted December 10, 2007 Casey I am shocked no body has told you this yet. I will because i know you have a Dec Coues tag. but in december coues deer turn black, So when you go out you should be looking for Black deer not the color you are used to. Man i hope i did not tick anyone off by sharing this info with you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deernut Report post Posted December 11, 2007 And you thought he was kidding............... Melanism is a rare abnormality in deer but it pops up once in a while. This buck circulated around the internet a few years ago. I have more about melanism and albinos in my book (which is free if you can get someone to buy it for you for Christmas). Sportsman's Warehouse has a black mountain lion (thanks to a little black dye) JIM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
300 ultra mag Report post Posted December 12, 2007 That buck looks awesome. 2 or 3 years ago I saw a 4x4 mulie in the mid 150s that was off white not totaly albino, I would love to get an arrow in him this fall. I have also seen a doe mule deer that had huge spots looked like a antelope. Nothing black other than bears and slow moving elk . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
