Saw an unusual deer recently...wonder if anyone else has seen one?

Had a buddy bow kill a whitetail in Indiana with four white legs this is a pie balled for sure. As for around here i have seen way more albinos 20+ killed than pie balled 2.

We see a couple piebald every year here in md. The crazy thing I saw last year and of course no camera was a all black whitetail deer. Ive never saw one before it was down in Montgomery county near poolesville. After talking to few people apparently I'm not crazy they do exist.

There was a small herd of piebald blacktail deer by me, I have not seen them in a few years though. They always made me look twice upon seeing them!

Thanks for the photos. Interesting Genetic Mutation. In the real world of Predator and Prey, these animals stand out and are generally culled from the heard by the predators.

I took a piebald whitetail a couple of seasons back. Sorry, not an airgun kill but it's one more thing that I can scratch off of my bucket list.


Sent the hide out for tanning and got it back several months later.

I've read that this occurs about once in every 20,000 animals. I'd say you were fortunate to encounter one. Usually you'll see it repeated in a local herd as the gene gets passed from generation to generation. Here in RI I'm aware of at least two separate herds with the piebald gene showing up every now and again. Here's a little info / video on the topic:
