Been hunting a lot this season but haven't had any luck. I missed a nice 8 during our archery season (buck fever got the better of me ) then let a couple small bucks walk during shot gun season with hopes of getting something better. Well , it is now muzzle loader season with only a few days left so I decided it was time for the old if it's brown it's down time. Took this piebald doe on 12/26 at 7 am. With the Thompson center omega z. Not the deer I was after but it will taste good .
We sure did. Every time I harvest a deer my family is always excited to have the traditional venison bbq.
Meat in the freezer At the price of "store bought" beef , even burger, more than worth the effort ! Low cholesterol too
Feet done into a gun rack would look cool too. Meat is meat and I prefer does. Why I got the nickname doemaster by bro and dad.
Very nice piebald doe. Congrats! are the piebalds common where you hunt? I'm a B&C/P&Y measurer and see hundreds of deer a year (dead and alive) and I have yet to see a piebald in person.
Thanks for congrats. Piebald are not common around here but I have been lucky enough to harvest 2 in the last 10 years. I don't know anyone else who as ever seen one in this area. The other one I got 10 years ago was only about 1 mile from this one.i think it is the same bloodline.
http://www.wildlifemanagementpro.com/2013/07/28/piebald-deer-photos-and-information/ Piebald Deer Hunters commonly call these colorful deer calico or pinto deer. The piebald condition is an inherited genetic trait. The piebald anomaly ranges from a very slight amount of white hair to almost totally white coats. Unlike true albinos, piebald deer have brown eyes and black hooves. The piebald condition is frequently associated with other harmful physical conditions, including skeletal deformities (dorsal bowing of the nose, short & deformed legs, curved spine, short lower mandible) and internal organ deformities. Piebald deer are not common, usually occurring at less than one percent of the population. Piebald deer can be more common in certain areas, especially in places where deer hunters protect them. Piebald deer are not afforded any special protection under hunting regulations and from a wildlife management standpoint it is not recommend that these animals be protected.
That's sweet, I've seen a few white deer in the wild but not many. That is great! I would be making a rug for sure out of that.
Nah ,I hit her low in the neck. Just can't see it in that pic. Your not the first person to ask if I scared it to death though.
