Thats neat they are called melanistic and the half white one is called piebald.

[Jetboater]

lots of sumas deer are piebald or pinto colored... shot a few bucks with similar spots....

[Gilmore]

Even the Moms face is a little on the dark side.

This fawn and her mother crossed sumas hyway infront of me on my last hunt in reg 2 this yr. I had to slow to 30 to let them by safely. Thought it was going to be a good day after this. Nope tag soup :-D

Momma to the black fawn doesn't look piebald. The darker head on her indicates some level of melanin. :P The other deer was a piebald, though.


That fawn's gonna look awesome when it gets older, be pretty wicked to take some more pics of it when it grows up! See what kind of offspring it produces.

If I ever saw a black deer like this I would not shoot it I would feel bad for doing so.
Even if it had a massave rack on its head still would not shoot it..

[Mr. Dean]

Excellent shots. :smile:

Oh, that's really interesting.

I watched a show about the origin of dogs which kind of question our idea of how they came to be domesticated. Anyhow, in it, they were doing an experiment in Russia with foxes where only the tamest ones were allowed to breed. Well, after just a few generations, the ears drooped and the coats began to have patterns similar to the deer above. I wonder if there is a corrolation between the piebald pattern and the fact that these deer live near the city.

These piebald deer have been seen on sumas mountain when my father used to hunt there in the 60s. I seen one in the early 70s. No city back then. Sevenoaks used to be a go cart track and west oaks was a gully.

look at the shoulder of the doe, it seems to me it is has patches of white but i agree with everyone on the dark face.
