Piebald or not?

[A Sportsman]

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.

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 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!

Don't matter to me none what color they are.

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.

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.

looks like a kangaroo

Omg your right! Kangaroo..

Here is a pic of two pics of the one I shot

[G-Man]

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.

Well, it was unlucky for the deer I guess.  Wouldn't bother me what color it was.

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.

[hunter49]

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.

would definitely shoot it and mount it! cool looking trophy to me

[Hardcore]

I would drop the hammer
