Default Piebald Deer

I got a Piebald fawn on my game camera last week. Big white spot on its forehead, nose is white, back legs are all white and half of its side. Cool looking deer. Anyone else ever seen one? Whats your opinion on the harvest of such an animal? I would not shoot this one, and probably won't see it again even if I wanted too.

It's a deer with recessive genetic traits. Take it out of the herd. Why people think they must be left alone is beyond me. Emotions overriding logic I guess. Might make for a nice wall skin/rug though.

If I see a deer, and I have a tag for that gender/species, it's getting shot.

Nice pics

Similar face markings as the one I took a few years ago, mine didn't have much for body markings though.

My thoughts as well. There is absolutely no reason NOT to take it if you legally can and want to.
I would.

Its not that I am against shooting a Piebald deer, but I have no plans on putting my tag on a fawn this year. Velvet is calling my name.
