John3- The melanistic buck that Gene and Barry saw is more rare than an albino. They saw him and passed him up for a few years. This year he was 4 1/2 and after he showed up on some of the late summer set camera photos, he's all Gene thought and talked about. But once the season started, Tyrone proved just how hard it is to hunt for only one buck. Odds go to the buck! Ha!
I'm glad they captured video footage of him in his younger years to be shared with all in our next production. Rumor has it a black doe has been seen. Stay tuned! Mike
