Did you not read it? Apparently you just looked at the pics huh? It's not called a "Calico" but is called a piebald deer. Uncommon but more common than a white, albino or melanistic (black) deer.

I hunted a piebald doe exclusively one season, had her at 50 yards 5 times (bow only) and never saw her again.

I've seen several.

Whatever it's called, it's COOL! I'd be taking donations to have a full body mount of that bad boy!

In Northern VA where I worked for several years there was a bunch of Piebald deer. 30+ in one big group. I took a pic on the gold course next to our building but it was a cheap digital (its been years ago) and the pic was hard to see.

I wouldn't have believed it if I hadn't seen it. They were very overpopulated there. I also go to see a nice buck(smaller than the one in the article you posted) but nice. I was distracted enough I almost didn't see the BIG buck standing behind him. Unfortunatly never saw them while hunting... They are cool to see though.
