sorry if this has been asked before and I didn't see it or don't remember it.

Is there a genetic link between albinism and piebald coats in deer? If so, then if an area has a higher concentration of albino deer, is it more likely to have more piebalds too?

Is it illegal to shoot both... i never really thought about them as different?
No, just the Albino is illegal in TN. Piebalds are fair game!
 
I think the deer can be all white as long as it doesn't have the characteristic pink eyes and/or hooves of the albino. Makes alot of sense doesn't it.

That is what happens when the state legislature gets involved in wildlife management.
