piebald passion
I get fired up when I encounter a piebald, as in most of my hunting areas they are very rare. I know that some of you have come across more than your share while checking trailcams, scouting or hunting- while others live in areas where a sighting is something special.
Dan's white doe is spectacular, a once in a lifetime trophy. What have some of you witnessed out there, or gotten trailcam pics of, or even photographed yourself?
Here's a couple of my favorites I took pics of myself:
A wilderness doe:
An agricultural buck:

Re: piebald passion
They aren't rare here in the counties I live and hunt in. We see quite a few of them every year. I have a doe, and a 1 1/2 yr old 6 pointer on my farm that are piebalds. There is a mature buck on my companies land that we watch all year, and many more all over these counties. One night on a buddies farm I seen a fawn and a 3 1/2 yr old buck that were piebalds. I have mounted two full body mount piebalds for friends. So here they aren't rare at all. I only seen a few growing up in the U.P. though.

Re: piebald passion
Beautiful Pics, Piebalds are cool! There was a full body mounted ten pointer from Franklin County Indiana at the Cincinnati Bass Pro a couple of years ago which is definitely the biggest Piebald I have ever seen.

Re: piebald passion
Pretty rare by our parts.....I know of a few that hang around the Boulder Juction area that locals have pictures of. These may even be albinos....can't remember.
What I have pictures of is a deer we called "socks". Saw her once from the treestand but to far to shoot. Never saw her again or anymore trail cam pictures.

Re: piebald passion
I saw a really cool mature old doe two years ago in Northwest Indiana and was going to take her. It looked like she was wearing socks like the above photo but she had more white on her. Just as I was going to take the shot a stupid forkey ran her off. It was late December so I whacked him instead for my urban buck.

Those of you that have quite a few in your areas are fortunate. There are many hunters that have never seen a piebald or white phase deer in the wild.

Re: piebald passion
I saw an all white doe about ten years ago, in Buffalo County. She was feeding in a field down below me about 100 yards away. They always have a couple running around in that area every year. That was when I was lucky enough to hunt out there.

I know guys who that have shot them, and wont again. They say its a curse and you will run with bad luck for years!

Re: piebald passion
I just learned about a piebald doe in the area I hunt (rare) only problem is she is a city deer so its all developments and private land. I will probably make some inquiries about hunting access but I don't think I will have much luck getting permission.

Re: piebald passion
Never seen or heard of one being seen in my area. They are cool and I would love to see one in my area someday.

Now this is interesting- a potential curse if you shoot a piebald! I've never heard that before, but could see how something like this could come about, with piebalds being rare and what not.

Pics! we want pics!
fellow Beasts who have quite a few in their hunting areas may not realize just how rare they are, overall, in the rest of the whitetail's range. If you have pics, we would love to see them!

Re: piebald passion
I have only ever seen one in the wild that was 19 years ago. 10 point buck. Don't know what ever became of him.
You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.
