Calico Buck Shot in WI

[Bighotdog 3]

Here is a crazy Buck that a hunter got over in WI. He sent these

pictures to a bunch of people to see what he could get and the owner of

Cabela's paid him $13,000 for the head and hide. A calico buck like the

one below is rarer then an albino.

Wow, that's pretty weird. I guess is it was a semi-albino if there is such a thing!

I believe they are called piebald deer.

I did some research and RLK is correct.

"A piebald is an animal, usually a horse, that has a spotting pattern of large white and black patches. The colour of the horse’s skin underneath its coat may vary between black (under the black patches of hair) and pink (under the white patches). The colouring is generally asymmetrical. Many animals also exhibit coloration of the irises of the eye that match the surrounding skin. This condition also occurs in white-tailed deer.

A genetic variation (defect) produces the piebald condition in white-tailed deer, not parasites or diseases. Piebald deer are colored white and brown similar to a pinto pony. Sometimes they appear almost entirely white. In addition to this coloration, many have some of the following observable conditions: bowing of the nose (Roman nose), short legs, arching spine (scoliosis), and short lower jaws. This genetic condition is rare with typically less than one percent of white-tailed deer being affected."
