No sir I'm in Ohio, That's why it's so rare for me to see something like this in the snow.

I'm green with envy but also delighted that you got to see that and were able to share it. I've always wanted to see a piebald deer in the wild.

I saw my first piebald last August.  Pretty neat.

Really cool.  I saw a piebald and photographed an albino doe last week for the first time.   Unfortunately, no snow.

Yeah Terry...
That is COOL!

Years ago I lived in Cedarville Michigan for about five years.   There was a small group of these critters that showed themselves frequently.  Awesome!   have never seen them prior or after.  I consider myself lucky to have had that experience..

I have never seen a piebald deer, even though they are periodically seen in the area. Also, I have never hunted in snow. I came close once, but it was more ice than snow. So many limbs and trees were breaking, though, that I was a bit scared and left early. I really liked these pictures. Maybe some day, I will get to take some like these.

Great photo - not just the subject, but a great photo.  I used to hunt an area in Northern Virginia that had a matriarch piebald doe.  I watched her over 3 seasons with different fawns.  Most were normal color, 2 had minor piebald markings.  The landowner and other nearby landowners told us we could shoot any deer on the property except the piebalds.  She got hit by a car the fourth year and we stopped seeing any more.  I also saw a completely white yearling with a normal doe (mother) one day about 20 miles from the first location.  The yearling was probably piebald and not albino.  I never got to see any of them in the snow.  What a rare treat!

I wondered if that's where you were. I believe that's the same deer I've seen many times.  By Wright state university?

If you did not notice the horizonal line, you might miss seeing the deer.  :clapper:

absolutely!

I had a chat with Terry yesterday about his "Pibald" experience in Ohio...and, to his point many hunters have experienced this but not so many in snow.  I can easily relate as I lived in Michigan's UP (Cedarville) for approx five years. 

A "saying" up there:  "Summer in Cedarville is like six months of bad sledding"   

....Anyhoooo,

There was a "family" of pibalds living for years within the city limits.  Last I remember, the six point was poached...everybody knew he went missing...some knew who dunnit..... nobody came forward...not surprising.

As Terry posted - Awesome to see these critters in a snowy environment...very cool indeed!  :thumbsup:
