A Sportsman Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Aha. If you took the face off your pieball and put it on the body of my pieball, we would have a semi decent looking deer. Maybe there are other genetic "issues" that are at play, besides the coat, that affect pieballs. I can try to dig up a photo of mine but I think I only have it as a hard copy photo.

jjb4900 Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I shot a piebald a few years back and it deformed feet and lower legs..........I've heard they are genetically inferior and often have some type of deformity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NFA-ADK Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I don't think I could shoot an all white albino buck but piebald is not the same thing. I have had enough bad luck hunting so all white would get a pass. The all white deer in these videos would get a pass in my woods. Some good fights! Enjoy. Certain superstitions I just can not ignore but piebald is not one of them, nice mount! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StRhXGRlKms https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=fvwp&v=1atb07nlE2I&NR=1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pygmy Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I shot a piebald a few years back and it deformed feet and lower legs..........I've heard they are genetically inferior and often have some type of deformity. I have also heard that piebalds tend to be genetically inferior. The one that my friend shot on my property a few years back had a perfectly formed 8 point rack, but he was like a "minature" buck, reminiscent of a Coues whitetail. His rack was perhaps 10" wide inside and he weighed exactly 100 pounds dressed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Three00rum Posted April 12, 2014 Author Share Posted April 12, 2014 This pic shows the odd tail and short front legs. It's tail is extreamly long and almost tubular like a dog rather than flat and fanned out like you would expect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G-Man Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 I got a buck and caped it for a 3/4 mount jumping out of a wallfortunately my uncle looked at it in detail and talked me into this form...shows of 80% of the white at 1/4 the cost of the 3/4 mount. Nice to have a good taxidermists opinion on issues like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
covert Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Well, it was unlucky for the deer I guess. Wouldn't bother me what color it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycredneck Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 If it tastes alright then it's dinner, I would not do a mount only because I have no place to put it or care to spend the money. I euro my bucks by burying the head in the fall and digging it up in early summer. Doesn't cost me a nickel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter49 Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 is it me or is that back leg coming from where the tail should be? I thought the same thing, something is not right? Bad pic angle I hope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
518BowSlayer Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 would definitely shoot it and mount it! cool looking trophy to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
