Unique whitetail

[Slingingslugs]

Little spike buck. Had him around last year as a fawn and this is his first set of antlers. My daughter has forbidden me from taking him no matter how big he gets if he survives the season. He hangs out close to his twin sister from last year and his mom and brothers, twin buck fawns of this season. Good luck to him...

Piebald deer. That is soo cool. Very lucky to see such a thing. I hope he spreads his genes around. That's a very rare occurrence.

Check your state laws. Some states protect albino and piebald deer. Fyi

Florida don't care about nothing but the horn restrictions. My area is 3 points on one side or main beam over 10 inches. Youth hunters can shoot any antlered deer over 5 inches long.

Pretty cool looking deer. Back in the early 80’s Vermont had a law protecting any “predominantly white” deer, it lasted a couple years and then was repealed.

I refuse to shoot white or piebald deer. Bad luck, bad karma, bad juju.

Beautiful animal and lovely photo.

He'll either end up in someone's freezer and on their wall or turning to dust in his home. Either is fine by me.

I’ve never seen a white or piebald deer but I wouldn’t have any problem killing one if it was a deer that I’d kill if it was brown.

I could tell you a story about a white moose but I’m not going to.

Nice looking deer and very rare to see.
I've seen several white deer years ago and a buddy of mine took a piebald doe once on private land back in the 90's.

That's a nice looking deer! I wouldn't shoot him unless it was late season and my freezer was empty!

That’s a nice deer. I’ve seen my share of piebald through the years. I actually killed 2 bucks the same year, 1 with bow 1 with gun. The next year was the first year in my life since hunting that I didn’t harvest a deer. Bad Ju Ju or whatever I won’t shoot another.

Ive never seen one while hunting and if the opportunity arose I wouldnt shoot, somehow it just seems wrong to me for whatever reason.

An albino deer use to hang around our house and finally got her photo in the paper. I've seen quite a few piebald deer while hunting in my native Georgia and would never shoot one and certainly didn't. There were too many "normal" whitetails and I got as many as 9 one season. I find them both beautiful.

I thought that this was interesting to read about piebalds. I've been fortunate enough to have seen 3 in Md. & an all while 12 point buck in a pen in St Marys co. Md. I've never shot one though. I wouldn't hesitate at all putting one down. I was always told that piebalds were caused by repettitive inbreeding, which led to genetic mutations in them, and to shoot them on sight. I've seen one in three diff counties, neither time was I hunting.

I've never had the good fortune of seeing a piebald. I had an albino on my property in 2021. We saw it again in 2022. I was happy it had survived the season. I hope your piebald survives.

There used to be a piebald doe on one property I hunt. Haven't seen her in years. Landowner didn't want her shot.
Last time I saw her she had two normal brown fawns with her. They stick out like a sore thumb, but beautiful to watch!

Is that corn it’s feeding on?

Good ol' whole corn. Yes it is. I'm a horrible person...
