I have seen piebald deer before but not one this dark. I think its a small spike. I have another photo where they are just barely visable. In any case thats definately not his scrape and rub in the foreground.

Very strange indeed! I've never seen one that dark before. Note that it's back legs are the real color of a deer!?

I cant see the pic but It sounds neat.

Just a red x here.

WOW!!!! Thats cool!! A melanistic piebald!! I have never heard of that happening. You should send the pic to your department of natural resources and see what they say.

What an awesome pic!!!!

Cool picture! Thanks for sharing. Definatly an odd creature.

nice pic,never saw one that dark. sure would like to see the one that made that rub!

awesome pic, thanks for sharing
thats cool

I have a photo of the deer that made that rub and he is a moose. He's still out there walking somewhere too. I will try to post it but I've been having trouble posting photos here lately. Sometimes they don't show up and even when I can see them some people still can't.

thanks for posting, great picture
