Snopes verifies and links to the photographer's site:

I can understand the curiosity from people of the highly melanistic black fawn images that we have on our website. They are a rare phenomenon to see. We're always happy to find someone who enjoys viewing our images as much as we enjoyed taking them.

I took the photos of the black fawn near Austin, TX. That area of central Texas seems to have a concentration of black "white-tailed" deer, although it is still extremely rare to find them. This is a wild deer, but resides in a greenbelt near a neighborhood. I took the images when the deer were roaming through the neighborhood. The two fawns in the photos are twins, but only the one is black. The images being circulated were taken in May [2010] and I again captured some images of them about seven weeks later which I added to our website. They are going to be published along with an article about "Melanism" in "Deer and Deer Hunting" magazine due out in September [2010].

This is, like, all the neighborhoods in the city. We love our greenbelts, but the deer are a pain in the ass.

If you could just get the local gov to let some hunters come in and cull them out then give the meat to the local food shelters. Oh, and let them keep the racks. It would solve many of those problems.

Several cities/communities let bowhunters come in and cull a few now and again, when they become problematic.

:yum:

There's practically nowhere to shoot where you wouldn't be directing bullets into someone's back yard. But we do a pretty good job killing them with our cars.

Segway SWAT is for when the Black Friday crowds at the mall get really unruly.

Culling is always done with bow or crossbow in areas congested with people. The public is forewarned and the whole process is quite controlled. There is a long history of a safe process to get this done.

Works better than having volunteers hide in the bushes, and run out to slip a condom on the bucks during the rut. :yesnod:
