We see a mix of colors in deer around here. Some will be a very light tan, others a very red/brown color, and others shades of grey from light to almost black. It seems to be genetic, and not a seasonal thing.
I haven't seen any piebald on the hoof. One sporting goods store in the area had a full body mount of a piebald spike in the store.
I wonder if the expression of the piebald/albino trait is a warning sign of too much inbreeding in a population?
