Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire My friend sent me a pic of his neighborhood piebald deer

Pretty animal. It's a bird feeder raider.

That's a pretty deer.

way cool

I like! 👍

I saw my first piebald (doe) this year in Alabama...

😎👍

They're illegal to shoot here. The natives say they're a sacred "spirit animal".

They taste good.

We had a doe on our lease for about 7 years that we could account for. She was FAT; head-on or tail-on, her body looked as fat as it was deep. One of the guys shot it and had the hide tanned.

There’s another that we saw this year. It’s not as distinct as the other with “socks” on the forelegs, white ears, and the white belly hair that comes up farther on the body.

gotta be a Q drop back in '17 or so about the tan will become white or something, no?

First I've heard of.

I've seen a few in Virginia and Wva. Even a pretty wide 6 point once in muzzleloader season. Couldn't bring myself to shoot it. Old timers always said it was bad luck.

Buddy of mine shot a 10 point piebald in Maine one season. Everyone from around the area came to see it hanging on the pole. Two wardens came buy and thanked my buddy for removing him from the gene pool. Was an odd looking buck, big rack and a stunted body. Should have been over 200 lbs but barely hit 180.

🤣🤣🤣

Every time that deer takes a dump, it always contains 17 pellets.

There's your Q drop.

Very cool looking deer.

I've seen a bunch here before. I had one hanging around the house for a couple of years until she got hit by a car. We had one at the farm where we hunt a few years ago. It was a 6 point. I told my son not to shoot it because it's bad mojo. He said BS, let that sucker come in range and it'll be bad mojo for him.

The weird part about the deer in the OP is that it's spots are black and the tail is black. Maybe it's the picture, but it's almost as if it has melanistic characteristics. Not just a black deer, but a pie bald black deer. Check out the one from my house, she's brown and white, not black and white like the OP.

you can be real funny

PS, 17 letters there.

A navy buddy of mine got one with a crossbow in VA about 10 years ago.


Not a big deer and normally he would have passed on one this small but we were doing a herd reduction hunt on one of the navy bases and they wanted as many deer killed as possible in the shortest amount of time. He had the hide tanned and put it on his coffee table. Pretty neat to see one in the flesh.

Those old timers were full of shyt. I killed one in 2022. Got the tanned hide on my wall. Had a great 2023 season.

Q is my greatest hero.

Don't even bother counting, you know how many.

Pretty deer. Amazing how often they show up with symmetrical markings like this deer having near identical brown circles around its eyes.

I shot a piebald buck years ago and have it full mounted. Mottled white/brown on the shoulders with almost all white from the shoulders back but scent sacks are both dark brown....ears are mostly brown but has 2 white circles going around the base of both ears......head has a lot of brown but has 2 identical length white stripes going up both sides of it's muzzle towards the eyes. Hair color around the eyes is white on both sides, etc, etc.
