Piebalds in Randolph County

Yeah hunter 4 he had the classic piebald boxer nose, kind of looks like someone hit him in the face with a 2X4. He also had some little short legs. The other didn't have the boxer nose but did have the short legs. Well I know there was also a albino in the area a few years ago but never could get him but he was a big 8 pointer. He would come out from a bedding area I was hunting that was boarded one side by a gully, on another side was a house, the third by a road, and the fourth by mine and my brothers deerstands. I saw him three times and he would walk up a logging road right past the house. Being the responsible hunter I am had to let him walk. All them piebalds have came out of the same thicket, so wonder if it could be part of his genes. I don't know if the piebald and albino gene are the same does any of ya'll know? Here is a pic of the two does and a pic of a friend of mine that got a piebald 6 pointer on a neighboring property.

Hello again BBHR...See you figured the triple pic post out and Wow Cool pics and a beautiful face on that 6...That's cool looking...You wonder if its the genes???Shouldn't wonder if they are all coming from same area...I would guess its a no brainer....Me myself i have never seen 1 in the wild and have always heard that if you shoot 1 that it will bring you bad hunting luck...HMMMM...With the way my seasons going, Maybe i have shot 1 and don't remember lol...Good Luck and Thanks for sharing

Congratulations. Those are interesting deer. They make great pictures and now you have stories to tell your grandchildren.

The characteristics that piebalds show are recessive genetic traits, but they'll continue to show up in a local deer herd every year or two. When tagging and checking deer in was required, certain check stations would see a piebald or two every year.

Your pictures show everything people have told me Pie Balds look like. The one I shot in 2008 was a stallion compared to those. He was 17 1/2 inch inside spread 8 point and grossed 112...normal nose and normal legs. I guess he forgot to be freaky! Great pictures! I can't remember off hand but I think he weighed 155lbs.
