That's so cool. I'd have to think for a second before I shot though. I don't know if I could afford a full body mount and I know i'd want one. Who am I kidding? I already pulled the trigger in my mind[cool]
 
That looks like a plactic tag...Plus Jersey tags aren't red this year.
My thoughts exactly.
NJ Hunter
I saw this deer on 11/4/08, on my way home from hunting but heard someone shot him 1 month later.
Pensee? A preserve?
Really cool deer though.
 
If I'm not mistaken that pic was taken inside of roche. Is it possible that that red tag is some kind of id tag for employees?
Like most of you already know, those tags that the state issue are usually placed on the hind legs. Also Roche is a check station as well.

Looks like V. Roches place . There are a bunch of piebald deer within 1 mile of Roche's , so it wouldnt suprise me if that buck was taken from that area. Not sure whats up with the red tag though.
 
He's got the short stumpy front legs that are common in piebalds
Hmmmm, maybe I'm a piebald[confused][hihi][hihi]
 
Funny I just ran into this page earlier this morning.

Code:
Bob Sanders took a 10 point piebald/whitetail buck on November 8 with a bow in the area of  Somerville/Brancburg Twp., NJ. The buck field dressed between 170-180 pounds. 


This is not an albino deer; no pink feet,pink eyes or pink nose. 

Piebald deer, or partially white deer, are from a recessive genetic trait and the deer usually become more prevalent due to overpopulation in a deer herd, according to the Patuxent Wildlife Research Center, U.S. Geological Survey — Biological Resources, Department of the Interior. 


The white coloration makes these animals more visible, so they’re subject to higher-than-normal predation rates while young. Rarely do piebald deer survive more than a couple of years in the wild. ([url]http://www.pwrc.usgs.gov[/url])
 
No joke I just watched the Drury's Whitetail madness dvd and the one clip was of a hunter finding a deer dead on his property locked in a tree and he called the game warden and they came and issued him a red tag exactly like that on the antler for the deer?
