Anyone ever seen this? Black faced deer?

[River Rambler]

These are some unusual looking deer. In additon to the odd coloration, they're facial structure looks odd as well.

Looks like some kind of cross breed
Nice deer

That's what I was thinking because the does have it too.

Summer coat, very short or no hair. I've seen some dark faced deer though, and one mutation that was a dark chocolate color.

 

[River Rambler]

It could be a thin summer coat, but does a common whitetail have black skin?

And all of the deer I'm seeing have this.

Here is a doe with a blacker face

 

[River Rambler]

True. These boys just have some stark white hair around their eyes and it makes much more striking.
Thanks for the feedback.

Thats common with their short summer hair. They look like brothers to me.

Most of my summer pics look just like that. It's just the contrast with the summer coat.

[11P&YBOWHUNTER]

I got a pic of a buck from Fort Stewart that had a lot of black on its face.

 

[River Rambler]

Wild looking for sure.
Hope they keep showing up during the day.

As mentioned this is a comon look for a summer coat and color on face. It may be a tad darker but not unusual.

Funny I found this thread. I got a pic of a big buck here in FL that looks exactly like these bucks here! I'll post a pic of him tonight.
