Hey way to go Old Man Cable. I haven't taken one since I got the Piebald and that was back in Dec. of 96. Didn't get out this year for shotgun but I'm hopeing I can for muzzle loading. How big do you think your doe was? Guess that means you'll be having a lot of deer jerky to eat.Those does are better anyway.
> 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.

> > 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?
