I believe the word your looking for is MELANISTIC. The Pleasant Valley Hunting Preserve always has a bunch of them. If anybody wants to hunt them they can go to PHVP and request them to be put out for you. I shot a few last year while I was working over there. I think they are the same as a ring neck just a genetic thing that happens in hatcheries. I was told that a regular ring neck lays the eggs. Maybe kinda like how they also have a couple albino pheasants every year in the broods. We are talking 1-5 birds out of 35,000 chicks. The melanistic birds are a lot more common. I bet the bird bowhunter3 killed was shot while he was hunting somewhere near a pheasant club or possibly @ a pheasant club.

Nice buck BTW and bag-o-birds BH3
