Piebald buck

[Chief44]

Back during muzzleloader, I had a piebald buck chase a doe past me. I had never seen him before and didn't have any pictures of him. I could have killed him but chose to let him walk. After talking to some other folks in the area, I found out a guy had pictures of him on another property. I called that guy and talked to him. He said the deer had been on his farm since he was a fawn and had disappeared a week before muzzleloader opened. His farm is about 2 miles from mine, the way the crow flies. He had spoken to most of the surrounding property owners and all had agreed not to kill him. I have now done the same. I have seen him twice on my farm since that initial encounter. Both times from the road. A neighboring property owner saw him while hunting on the last day of muzzleloader and another neighbor said he almost hit him crossing the road in front of my place on opening morning of gun season. I checked a camera today and had some night time pics of him. I sure hope he makes it through the season. I'm hoping he's found a new home area here. He's a very unique deer. It will be interesting to see what he becomes if he makes it.

That is one cool deer right there.

Very cool. He'd be hard not to kill for the cape, especially if he ever grows an impressive rack

I've seen a few piebalds over the years but never one like this. The night pics don't do him justice. The brown on him is darker than normal. Kinda chocolate looking. He's beautiful in the daylight.

Very cool. Nice everyone agreed to give his a pass. Hopefully it last we he gets a rack. Hunted in Wyoming one time and the guy had a pet mule deer... long story short. He painted it pink in hunting season so the neighbors would know it was him

Cool

Absolutely beautiful

Very cool! I agree...never seen one like this before.

Very unique buck! I think tho, in the interest of the buck's potential demise in older age, I'd talk to the neighbors and institute a plan of harvest at a predetermined date, if he makes it to a certain age that is. Beautiful buck!

I have a piebald basket rack mounted that my dad killed in Ga when I was a kid. I've wanted one ever since myself but haven't seen a piebald buck ever. Awesome deer!

Glad everyone has chosen to let him pass for now. Neat to see!

Very cool, hope he sticks around and grows old there. I look forward to future pics or updates on him. Y'all name him yet?

Nope. Just piebald.

Hope lives to be old. Some knucklehead will probably shoot him from the road for the heck of it.
