I have never seen anything like this. I would love to have shot something like that. I would probably have a full body mount on it.

Very nice piebald, I used to hunt an area that must have had the genetics for this. Saw several over the years.

that is a pretty looking deer!! i don't know if i could shoot it? NO I'm not condeming any one for shooting it or superstitious. first I'd make a nice rug and the wife would not let me do that so... and i think its really pretty.
i wonder what the survival rate against predation those dear have. its almost a camo in certain situations. that white look like the sun reflecting off the ground in some cases. but would stand out in others but being broken up???

Did you see it up close?
A friend of mine shot a mainly white deer about 15 years ago.
It had a lot of things screwed up!
The feet were twisted to the point that it seemed as though it would be painful!

I shot a pie-bald doe with a bow several years ago and there was another one with her. Where I hunt now we have a pie-bald doe around that has four white socks on. First time I saw her was two years ago but didn't see her last year. She showed up again this summer. Mike

Our state regulations don't allow the harvest of such an animal. Kind of stupid, I think, based more on emotion that biology.
Congrats to the hunter!

My first deer with a bow was piebald. It was one of a set of twin does that had been born a couple of years before. The farm owner had seen them when they were young and with the mother. They're kind of a neat thing but what a bummer of a handicap to your camo if you're a deer.

Oldtimers, the generation before this old timer, claimed that a white (albino) deer contained a madstone in the liver. It was claimed that if bitten by a maddog (rabid dog) that by placing the madstone over the bite it would draw all the harmful elements out of the bite. No, I wouldn't trust it and I doubt that white deer has such a stone.

My piebald that I shot a number of years ago is the only hide I have hanging on the wall, it was unique enough that I had it tanned. I had shot a spike earlier that day and would of not havested him except for the unigue coloration. yep I think it's a very "interesting" looking deer
