Default RE: Pie Bald doe to shoot or not?

The piebald gene is not good for the herd. The albinos are normal deer without melanin, but the piebalds can get (and can pass on) short legs, scoliosis and a ton of other problems
You guys have this backward, its the albinos that pass on bad genes, not the piebald. Piebalds are just deer with a different color. And for the record Id shoot one in a heart beat.
