I regularly see a piebald fawn outside my office window in Rockaway. It stands out like a bright light moving about the woods. Do they ever make it to yearling?
Anyone Ever Harvest A Piebald?

I took a spike many moons ago in Morris County. It was my 2nd year hunting during 6 day, very cold and although legal shooting time it was early and dark under the tall evergreens. When I first saw it, it was like seeing a ghost, appeared out of no-where and close. I was young, stupid and not interested in spending the money to tan the hide so I trashed it. I did keep the feet, pure white which I made into gun racks.

I have a 5 plus year old doe who lives on my land and drops a pair of fawns every year in my sanctuary out back. Shes is about 75% piebald id say. Brown neck, white head, white back and back legs, spotty brown on front legs. She is a resident and has gotten a pass since the first time i saw her. Interestingly enough every fawn shes ever had has been solid brown and shes had at least 10 to 12 fawns id say.

My neighbor shot a piebald about 20 years ago during 6 day firearm , he didn't shoot another buck fir 6 years , he said he will never shoot another one, he thinks it jinxed him, still believes that to this day, he's a old timer and a good guy ! Made a rug out of the Piebald and it does look great !

I have killed two piebald does. One with the bow on public and one with shotgun on private land. Treated them like any other deer. Didn't save anything but the meat from both.

Tracey harvested this piebald at age 3.5 .
we watched him as a button buck. then a spike, to a 6 point, then as an 8 the year she shot him.
Deer def was not built like a normal buck. everything about him was dwarfed.
we currently have a doe that is pushing 6, but she is off limits there

It is bad luck to shoot an all white deer(albino). I guess you could carry that over to piebald, depending upon which, Witch Doctor you talk to. lol

Amen. I will never understand why people don't shoot these deer with obvious genetic issues. The overall health of the herd will not benefit by letting them walk.

That is not always the case. there are many piebalds shot that are giant deer.
The one shot a few years ago was mid 160 as a three year old in south jersey.
I know of one up north right now in a no hunting area that is more than likely close to being a booner
