this evening, a buddy and I were on a mountain bike ride in Austin
trails up in the hills along 360 we saw a big buck, VERY nice and black as coal he was with a doe.. so, the rut is kicking in I have been riding this trail for over 15 years, probably on average once a week, year round, day and night.. never seen deer in this particular trail man, he was a very, very big mature buck we were within 20 yards of it very cool and definitely looks like the rut is starting can't wait! |

Oh, THAT kind of blackbuck...
I was sure you were talking about the exotic antelope that Chris posted the photo of.
Melanistic whitetails are extremely rare. That must have been very cool to see.

sorry for the confusion
I know where some real black bucks are, but I don't want to spend that much! I spoke with a friend today and he saw one in south Austin about 2 weeks ago he's an avid hunter, mountain biker, fisherman and kayaker.. suffice it to say, he's spent a lot of time outdoors first time he has seen one too pretty neat would like to try get to back with a camera |
