Re: Rare Deer - Check it Out Dogs


Your close to the right answer Old Man but not Quite right. It's known as Melanism Its a LACK of gentic cells that produce Melanin a chemical responsible for color in animals.
Albinos have none Piebalds have a few cells. Here in Ohio they say maybe 5 Piebalds a year are taken out of the 120,000 deer harvested and they seem to be mostly Does. That I would say makes them fairly rare. How about where your from are they any around your area?
