I know they exist, but it was the first one I ever saw in real. Unofortunately from the road, right behind Dulles Airport. Brown head and spotted from shoulders back - more and more white.

Actually pretty good looking doe.

The brown and white deer are called "piebald."

Although uncommon it's not nearly as rare as a pure white or albino deer.

I shot this doe on Saturday, she had a patch of white hair on her flank.

Mine was white practically from the neck back. I am not sure if I would shoot her if it was the situation.

I shot a doe yesterday morning that had a white patch on the side of her neck. It was about the size of a softball. I should have taken a picture but didn't even think about it.

With yesterday's weather you sure it wasn't just snow?

How about this one

Looks like a fallow deer to me.

They are fairly common around middle West Virginia. Appaloosa or Piebald. They all have brown eyes.

This is an interesting read about a herd in North Central Wisconcin.

Maybe, fallow deer racks usually look more like moose with a wide tines, this one had individual tines like you would expect from a whitetail. Mt Madonna park (nearby) is known to have white fallow deer.

Check out the tail...not a whitetail

Right, wrong tail for a whitetail.

John

along with the prominent "adams apple" and long, forward hooking brow tines, no doubt a young white fallow buck.

That's right!

We had a piebald fawn show up around the ranch several years back. Cute little booger. Ends up some douchebag scooped it up and tried to keep it as a pet......until things started going badly. Then they came back and dumped it out. Try as we might, we could not save it and it perished.


Then in the spring of 2005, my wife's uncle found a pure albino fawn laying under a fern where it had been dropped. Daisy, as we called her, lived very close to the houses for almost 4 years.......through 3 hunting seasons. She was a local celebrity.


Then, last March, some A-hole poaced her and left her to rot. Luckily, my Dad spied her carcass and we permitted the cape through the game commission and got a shoulder mount to preserve her.

Above white buck is 100% a Fallow Buck in velvet, (Palms just starting to form.) not a whitetail. Tail, Browtines, Adams Apple and Body Shape are giveaways.
White colour phase Fallow are not uncommon. They are not Albinos.
