How many have seen a piebald?
 
So, how many of you have actually seen a piebald deer? Buck?
The past couple of weeks on the way to my grandparents house there is a group of bucks and there is a 10 that looks like he'll be big by the time the season comes around. I cant hunt there, just sayin. He is white half of his under body the up around the shoulders with splotches around the neck and shoulder and also has spots on his under jaw. I have a Simmons binoc camera and will take it the next time we head that way. My grandma tore the ligaments in her knee and had surgery so we go out there evry few days to check on them.

So, have ya seen one???

I shot one(piebald) years ago, a doe. I posted a thread somewhere on here about rare deer. He is a pic of a nice one.

Ive seen a button buck that had a little bit of piebald in him. His feet were totally white up to about his knees and his hooves were pink instead of black. It was pretty cool

Had one in the front yard early, early one morning last year. It's the only time I ever saw it, and the only one I've ever seen.

Growing up I lived in a very rural area with a dense deer population. They always crossed about a 1/2 mile up the road from us. We had a piebald doe we saw several times there as well as a doe thats legs were only 10'' long never slowed her down though.

While hunting, I've only seen one. I hunted her for about 7-8 days before I killed her with my CB. Sheis a rare trophy which I'm proud of.

Two turkey seasons ago I was walking the edge of a field and noticed a white deer bounding away in the woods on the other side of the field. I'm not sure if it was pure albino or piebald, I wasn't close enough to tell.

i saw one last year while turkey hunting. my partner was across the valley from me, i had nocks on him and he had one on me. if anythingthing came that we couldnt see we would use a slow hand signal to advise. i started glassing his hill and saw a bunch of deer coming streight at him. i picked up my 2-way radio and told him that the middle doe was half white. he responded with "you are full of sh*t", 2 minutes later he responded with "you were right she is half albino, she came to 10 yards and stared at me." he had to buy me a beer for that one.

the doe had an all white rump and it faded to brown about half way up her body. still it was pretty cool.

for all of you screaming that it is illegal to use 2-ways, calm down we only use them if we go out of sight or ready to leave, not to transmit game position, and the does were not in season as we were hunting turkeys.

I don't know about Kansas, but in Pa, the use of 2 way radio's and cell phone's for the purpose ofalerting another hunter of the presenceof game is not legal. They are however, legal for basic communication.;)

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.

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.

Everyday:) 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.

3 seasons ago we had a 7 point piebald buck on our land. We saw him many times, one of my friends even got a shot at him, but he blew the shot. Nobody has seen him since then, and as far as we know nobody has killed him.

Though I am not sure if this one is supporting a rack or not but have heard it has started one this past spring. When I saw it it didn't have any just yet but that was only shortly after the snow left us. Here is a pic of it. Also there is 2 others with alot more brown in them there as well. I hope to capture them on my trail cam.

RE: How many have seen a piebald?
 
I bowkilled this one a few years back, it's a four point and almost totally white... I watched it all summer and really had no intention of hunting it at all..all that superstition stuff, out of the clear blue sky while hunting about 3 miles from where it was all summer while taking a break and sitting on the ground he walks right in front of me... and the superstitions?? YES, they are true, but that's another story.. would I do it again, NEVER EVER NEVER !!!
