Piebald I have never seen a piebald deer in my area (western Pa.) but have seen a albino doe and a buck. This past Saturday I did kill the biggest doe I have ever seen in my 32 years hunting though.
> 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.
