Piebald is Dead

[Specializedjon]

Had a friend from church text me this picture today. The piebald that I passed on at 35 yds last week got shot last night I checked the pics I have of him, same deer.

Saw him yesterday morning in the back field as I left for work.

Congrats to this guy (I covered names out of respect for the individuals privacy) Hope he honors him appropriately. Sure is a beautiful animal.

Have had two piebalds & one solid white (brown eyes) over past twenty years, one buck & two does. None of them made it past 2-1/2 due to neighbors killing them...

Sorry buddy. What a deer though. At least you got to see him and appreciate him living, and on your property. Something the vast majority of us have never experienced and, most likely, never will.

 

[Pic IN the Casa]

Deer of a lifetime, for sure.

Congrats ,great buck .

 

[Specializedjon]

It was bitter sweet. I can't blame anyone for shooting him. I've had the pleasure of seeing him for months on my property. Can't expect everyone to have a "no shoot" rule. Happy for this guy. He's a great buck and looks like he made a good shot.

Beautiful deer. Full body mount.... Congratulations to the hunter.

"Mr. Piebald Murderer" (I mean, killer) if you're on here, please come forward and be recognized. No hard feelings(ish).

Did he shoot it through a horse or while riding the horse bareback?

You did the right thing by passing him. He is still a very young deer

I haven't heard all the details and I haven't seen my horses today soooooo......I'll get back to you on that one.

I only passed on him cause he's so dang pretty and....I didn't want any bad Native American GU-GU. Read somewhere the Indian's (feather type) thought these were some sort of "spirit world" reincarnation or something.

Besides, I would've missed anyway

Definitely a unique trophy congrats to the hunter!! I wouldn't have passed him either. That's a once in a lifetime deer IMO!

It would be real tempting to get a piebald full body mounted, or at least display the hide somehow.

Its a 100" deer that is 3.5 tops. Very pretty coat, but definitely needed more time

Agree. A few of us neighbors were talking and we think he's 2.5 to 3 tops. I know one thing, he'll make your heartrate go up when ya see him up close.

Beautiful deer!

 

[PossumSlayer]

Beautiful!

My son has a full mount young doe

It's a shame that he got killed.

Congrats to the hunter. Definitely a unique trophy.

Beautiful deer. Hopefully a full body or a shoulder mount with hide tanned will come out of it. I seen a FB post where locals were begging someone not to shoot it lol.

 

[Spurhunter]

I hated reading this. Congratulations to the hunter, and I would've shot him given the chance, but knowing your side of the story I would've liked for him to hang around a few years.

How does one "honor" a deer?

Maybe that's why I have bad luck...

X2 !

How does one "honor" a deer?

Usually with a small ceremony and a medal if he is an extrovert. However, there is always the citation of merit slipped into his permanent record if he isn't into public spectacles

Nothing on this earth was put here to last forever…especially a deer. He could just as easily have been hit by a car tonight. I'm sure the lucky hunter is thrilled with him and it will provide food for his family.

I've ground checked several that I kicked my arse over when I got to them. Oh well. Put em to good use and get back in the woods tomorrow.

Maybe in your opinion, but antlers ain't everything. 3.5 is mature enough for me. I would have been tickled to death to kill a deer like that!!
