Don't really know how old he was. As I understand it, blackbuck typically get darker with age but some don't. The other buck was taken free range by my wife on the same hunt and although smaller and presumably younger, was much darker.

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
