This guy looks real to me. He has a condition called Melanism. It is an excess pigmentation. The exact opposite of Albinism.

Black Whitetail Fawn in Beamsville
Check out these cool photos of a black whitetail fawn. Supposedly in Beamsville. Ontario, perhaps? Very cool pics.
This is another example of melanism. Melanism is the opposite of albinism. Where albinism is a condition where the animals has less than normal pigmentation, melanism is an condition where the animal has more than normal pigmentation or melanin.
Check out this post of a full grown black whitetail buck.
Here are some posts of some beautiful albino animals including twin deer.

Texas Blue Buck
Here’s a strange looking beast. This “Blue” Whitetail Buck was taken on Christmas Eve 2007 in Texas. The best explanation of his color so far is something called Luecism. Leucism is a condition characterized by reduced pigmentation in animals and humans. Unlike albinism, it is caused by a reduction in all types of skin pigment, not just melanin.
Check out the Albino category on the left for even more wonderful animals that have Albinism — or even a BLACK Whitetail…
