Piebald deer

[gatornick]

I saw one just outside of North Beach on my way to work this morning. I saw pictures of one taken in Chesapeake Beach last season so I guess they are around here, but this is the first I have ever seen. It was pretty neat. Not as covered in white as some I have seen online, but definitely enough to be a piebald. I couldnt see its face as it seems alot of them have white faces, but there was pure white covering the whole lower half of its side.

Piebald deer, are a possible sign of inbreeding that occured.

No shortages of Piebalds in Southern Maryland. Glad you got to see one though.

We have them Harford county. apparently they are rarely seen because they are loaners. The other deer want nothing to do with them.

Sounds like they aren't too rare around here. I definitely enjoyed seeing it though. I've only lived here about 3 yrs and I never heard of them in Florida. I knew someone would call me out, I really wish I could have gotten a picture. It actually was moving across the street slower than any deer I've seen but I was too shocked to think about grabbing for my phone.

We have had two different ones in Columbia.

I used to see a completely white albino deer from time to time at a place I used to hunt.

Great looking mount! Definite conversation piece. Saw one two years ago where I was hunting (trail cam pics), never came out while I was in the stand though.

I thought it was bad luck so I passed.

Saw one in liberty 2 years ago.

Unodeuce - That deer is amazing. I think it makes up for my lack of pics. The one I saw wasn't that impressive. Yours has a nice rack to go with the coloration.
