RE: How many have seen a piebald?
never seen a piebald deer in the wild but i did see a piebald turkey this spring when I was trukey hunting with my bow. I dropped a nice tom standing on my decoy and as I was getting up to go get him I looked to my left and there stood a big piebald tom at about 4 feet he was in my blind spot against the tree almost had a heart attack.

RE: How many have seen a piebald?
Not sure if the spike I saw was a piebald because it didnt have any white on it but it was really short and stocky. I was sitting in my stand and watched it walk past. I was so taken by the way it looked and couldnt figure out exactly what was wrong. Its antlers almost crossed and it had little what looked like to me "cowlicks" in its hair. Like it grew in little swirl patterns all the way along its spine on either side. It worked a little tree behind me and I sat and just stared . When it was done it walked off . I havent heard of any of thelocals saying anything so Im hoping to see him again this season. I also just put my trail cam out in the same area so maybe post a pick if it comes through and you guys can help me tell if its actually a piebald.
Found another one that I was going to go after a year or so back but got too busy to hunt that area.

I've seen 2 piebalds, both yearling does..........and one adult albino doe. All in north central PA.
A buddy of mine killed a really nice 125"ish "white" buck in NY about 10yrs ago. Not albino but snow white with a tan forehead, with normal colored eyes and nose. Cool looking animal.
