Guys need your knowledge on this one.

I shoot this small buck because at the distance and next to the others deer around him it looked like a melanistic, but at close it has the white face from the common and the score sheet recorded that way, so i am confused, common Blacktails can have melanistic black skin tone too? the wiki just show the common as brown and the black as melanistic.

Trophy score: 113.467
Here is the score sheet: https://www.thehunter.com/#profile/vonh ... /593337353

It’s not a melanistic. The melanistics are totally black everywhere, and they even have a different black color. The blacktails have some different fur colors that all count as common. They can vary from the black color you just got there, to being reddish brown.

Hi VonStratos! Blacktails, at least the bucks, come in two shades which aren't counted as official fur variations. It's the "normal" brown, and the one you have shot, let's call it "dark brown/dark". A proper melanistic is, as you've already pointed out, completely black.

Edit: Kevin was quicker!
