If legal you would not catch me passing on a piebald deer  :D  Extremely rare and would make a fantastically beautiful mount. They taste just as good as a "regular" deer too!

Never a whitetail, but I've seen a few blacktail like that on the Washington coast when I was hiking with some Boy Scouts.  (They were either piebald, or the rain had washed out their pigment:-)

A few years ago,I had a piebald doe that hung around near the house and fed with the deer that show up to eat daily.  It ended up getting wounded during rifle season and vanished a month after that.  I'm quite sure the white coloration made it more visible and perhaps led someone to take a bad shot at it.

I have seen more albino deer than piebalds though.

If I get at shot at one; I will take it. I think being a piebald deer falls under the 'bummer of a birthmark' category.

Saw a piebald doe way up in Washington county in Maine many years ago. One year, while hunting in Southern Maine I saw a doe with two pure albino fawns. They were very small for that time of year and I never found out what happened to them. But I would see her from time to time with the fawns. Although I never had a shot at the doe I would not have taken her because the fawns were so tiny. I seem to remember that in Maine it was illegal to shoot white or piebald deer.

I saw a pair of twins a few years back that were piebald. One was almost blonde and white, and the other was a dark chocolate brown and white.

Giving the chance at it i would let it walk. I'm not into scientific genetic reasons, but follow another reason why. Like the white buffalo or a white Bear. I believe any animal that is marked this way is for a reason not of this world. To just kill or take something because it looks cool, different and to trophy it otherwise without respect is ok for some. Thats their decision, but me i would let it walk and admire it.

I've seen plenty.  They tend to be regional phenomena with some areas having a high percentage and others low or none.  I saw a piebald buck last year within a mile of my house.  VA has no hangups about shooting such deer and neither do I.

I shot one about 10 years ago in Ohio. It was all white with 3 brown spots on her hind quarter. My buddy did a full mount of her. I'll try to dig up the pics.

My ex brother in law  still calls my Dad up every year and asks him to go hunting on Dads land and of course my Dad lets him go because he hates to say no . My ex brother in law is slack and has to hunt one of our stands because he calls right before opening day so this year he got in my Dads main deer stand on opening day while Dad and I were at work and killed a nice piebald 8 point . My Dads about 70 and I sure wish he would have got that piebald . Its the first one Ive seen with that nice of a rack and Ive only saw two in my life .

I had three within a mile from my house.In the last thirty years I seen about twelve in different countys on the hoof and about ten in butcher shops and about another ten in peoples homes hanging on the wall.In the early eightys on a farm my parents rented we had a pure white doe we watched on several occasions out on the edge of our woods and that same doe had a piebald one year...I never got pics of her but the memories live in my mind forever...I even had a gamewarden friend that went with me to a bible study and on the way home to my house I had one laying in a farmers yard and another step in front of my truck .They were together that night...We both just sat there in and appreciated the moment to watch them...I didn't even turn my high beams on cause I remembered I had a gamewarden sittin right next to me...  :eek:

I shot one this past fall in North Caroliana.  Had the hide tanded and it is so beautiful that my wife and mom could not believe it!  I'll post the picture of the hide if I get a chance.
