Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

If you hunted an area where there's a lot of hunting preasure and a lot of deer that get hit by cars would you shoot a pie bald button buck?

I would shoot a pie bals deer but I won't anyway with this one because I don't shoot immature bucks!;)

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

Opps......
I would not shoot a button buck of any kind!

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I said yes and for the reason that if I were not to take the shot, I'm sure someone else would later. I avoid buttons but a piebald may be a different scenario.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

The button bucks I've shot I didn't know were button bucks.

The land I hunt is private. But other people hunt there because the guy that owns it gave them permission. So there is some competition for deer.

I have the place to myself in bow season because none of them bow hunt. Only 2 of the other guys muzzle load, so once muzzle loading season hits I've already seen deer and I usually knock em out because I know where to hunt. haha and they all wonder how I kill a deer on the first day of muzzle loading season.

Once rifle comes in sometimes there are up to 5 people on a good sized property. The fact is if I don't shoot it one of them other guys will. And I'd much rather have to meat than pass it up and let them end up with it.

I would. My guess is that they taste just like the rest.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

Nuff said?;)

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I dont shoot button bucks if i can see that they are in fact button bucks.but i do shoot does in muzzleloader season.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I would shoot a piebald but not a button buck

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

yes i would and cape it out like [early in] did

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

Piebalds and albinos aren't protected here, button bucks are considered "antlerless deer", and my county has an antlerless limit of 8 due to overpopulation. Fawn deer are tasty and I'm a meat hunter, I'dshoot it in a New York minute.

Don't know why the pics didn't show up.....but here is one

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

No way. They are very rare and should die of only natural causes like Muzzy broadheads.:D

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

i dont think i would shot a doe or little buck, but if its a nice enough buck...i would drop it without thinking twice.;)

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I try not to shoot any button bucks pie bald or not.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I would shoot a pie bald doe or more mature buck for sure. But ifI were absolutely sure it was a buttonI may have to pass and just enjoy the experience.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

yes i would,we actually went hunting a piebald buck that we'd been seeing and ended up killing 4 piebald deer in one day. that was back in the early 80's. we killed a 4point and 3 does.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I would pass on a baldy just because of their rarity. If it was a decent buck I probaly wouldn't be able to hold back. I saw a pie-bald doe 2 years ago a couple times while groundhog hunting and never saw it during season, don't know if it is still around or someone else got it.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

We have an antlerless deer law here so it's out of the question. Even if I could shoot it I would pass with a 1 deer a year limit it wouldn't be worth shooting a fawn.. If I was in the expanded archery zone where you can shoot all the antlerless you want toI think I would still let the little fellow pass. However anything bigger would surely go into the freezer so yes I would and have shot a pie bald before.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I don't think I could resist the temptation. I took a shot at one, the only one I ever seen and missed it with my pistol. I love that full mounted one, it looks great.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I would shoot a piebald if it were large enough either doe or buck.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

Not a button buck. I passed on this deer last year when he was a 3point on one side and a stump on the other but here is a picture of him in 2007 on public land in the Big horn mountains. I never thought I would see him again becouse they leave the mountains in winter but this last season I was amazed to see him there again and I got him. I thought about this deer for a year... so you tell me if YOU would shot this one of a kind pie bald? You know my answer.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

Here He is. I have this deer on the wall and will show him off proudly.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I think that is the first picture of a piebald mule deer I have seen, nice.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I might, depends on the deer.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

Wow randy that is quite the deer that face of it is amazing.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

That makes two of us!;)

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I have killed 2 piebalds
Yes I would shoot a BB fawn piebald or normal deer could careless how old the deer is

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

Before. Notice the short legs, typical of a piebald.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

And after. Sorry, I posted this pic previously.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I defiantly would, it is quite possibly a once in a lifetime opportunity. also there is an outside chance that he could do some breeding when he is older and i would not want a herd of piebalds. it would draw unneeded attention (poachers) and would also make for some easy pickings for coyotes and other predators.

RE: Would You shoot a pie bald deer?
 

I'll say this. I've been hunting since the early 70's andI've seen exactlytwo piebalds.One, when I wasn't actually hunting at the time. I was scouting a residential area many years ago.The other one I was hunting, and hunting it specifically because I'd gotten a trail cam pic of it, as per my previous post. So yes, they are quite rare.
