It looks like a mostly white piebald to me. Should be legal if it is.

Iowa also has a similar law but out law also protects deer that are more than 50% white. Figure that one out while in the field when you can only see one side of the deer at a time.

I am opposed to all such laws. They set a priority for future laws that will protect blonde deer or black deer. Over time the protected calsses of deer become dominate. If you do not believe this is so, look at pictures of the deer on some estates in Great Britain. In nature, predators select the deer that stand out. Where deer populations allow, I don't think there should be any protected class of deer. I do not want to have to pass on large nombers of deer just because they are odd colored. I think that a deer should look like a deer.

I think that antler requirement should be studied to be certain that they are not affecting what deer will look like many generations down the road too. I think that the average deer today should look like the average deer 100 years ago or 100 years in the future.

Keep in mind that before the selective harvest of elephants, by man, for ivory, both male and female Asian (Indian) elephants had tusks. Now most male Asian elephants do not and nearly no female Asian elephants have tusks. This process is in progress in Africa too as each generation of elephant has a higher percentage beig tuskless. I do not want a similar process to occure with deer, either with the color of the deer or with the antlers.
