Piebald Pics
 

My uncle has been watching this button buck since he was born. I saw him a couple times while archery hunting and finally got a couple pictures of him.

Good pictures :D

I have never seen deer with that type of patterns. Is that rare or common?

RE: Piebald Pics
 

Very cool pics. As said before he does look like a healthy deer. I have heard it said that sometimes a piebald can be a little genetically screwed up but that looks like a very healthy specimen. Maybe he will grow into a big racked monster. Start saving your cash now for that full body mount. :D

My uncle says he stands his ground against the other bucks. An 11 point always chases the doe and other buck away from the neighbors corn, but this piebald never leaves and stick his head right in there and tries to push the 11 point away. I saw him chasing a 7 point and 2 other button bucks around during late season. This is one deer that you can't mistake for another and we can keep track of him from year to year. Hopefully I'll post more pics this summer with his first rack.

Not to keep repeating but he is a real healthy looking deer. The piebolds I have seen in person were shorter and not as healthy looking as this one. Keep us posted on his antler growth. Nice pictures.

Hey Great Pictures!!!:)

The two piebalds in the herd near me are both female. And even though they say it is not a genetically inherited trait, I swear they are mother & daughter. I've watched the mother for the last three years and the daughter showed up a year ago. It makes them easier to spot as individuals but I haven't noticed that it detracts from their camouflage as it is still hard to spot them in the woods. I'll see if I can get some photo's this summer and post them too. I also have a melanistic black over dark grey down the road I've watched. Her young one this year was normal. Will try to get a photo of her also.

Nice Pics

I have only seen one Pieball in my life and that was for only a quick second driving by the field he was in. The pattern of the deer i saw was very similar to that one, but i wasn't sure if it was a buck or doe.. Pieballs/albinos do not pass the traits on, it is caused by a deformety in the gene that controls the color pigment in a deer. I jsut got done studying genetics in school and i asked my teacher about those guys. 1shot 1kill, they could be Mother/fawn but maybe it just happened they both became albinos?.? Which would also be very very rare. Very nice pics of them though.
