She looks like one of my goats.This is one of four piebalds that are within a couple miles of my house. Besides this girl there is another piebald doe I see in my yard that is a dwarf and a pair of 1.5 year olds (one buck and one doe) that are strawberry roan colored in big patches.
You are correct! These deer need to be taken out of the population if you want a healthy herd of deer. If allowed to breed you may get deer with all sorts of problems. I suggest reading up on deer mutations and then you will understand how bad piebald/white deer can be for hunters.
I had heard that piebald deer are genetically inferior and should be taken out of the herd? I wasn't sure if it wee true or not so I went to the''N.J. Fish and Wildlife'' site. It said that Piebald deer have many other problems other than just being piebald. It also said albino deer have no problems other than being white.I'd love to see an animal biologist weigh in here. I suspect (can't prove) that much of the above would be in the category of "I heard" or "someone told me" etc. Just like "once a spike, always a spike," or "don't shoot does, you'll destroy your herd" type statements.
Piebald, like albino, is a recessive gene, but I've never heard that it's a negative attached to other things in the herd. Could be just a lack of knowledge on my part though.
Only ever seen 1 in the wild, and also thought it was a goat, till it got close enough to know it was a deer. No short legs, no other abnormalities, just a young spike piebald. I let him walk, and another guy shot him.
Isn't piebald just a variation of albinism? Sort of albino light.I had heard that piebald deer are genetically inferior and should be taken out of the herd?
