A piebald whitetail deer was taken near Corsicana Texas. Piebaldism, — sometimes called skewbald — is rare in whitetail deer. If it was a horse we’d call it a “paint” horse. Piebald usually refers to black and white coloration and skewbald then is used for white and non-black colorations. So, I would say the proper term to use here is skewbald. However, the pictures came to me describing the deer as “piebald” so I decided to go with that term.
It’s a beautiful deer regardless of the name you give it.

this is not the first time i have seen a skewbald deer, my husband and i ride the country rds scouting for deer quite often, we were driving down a country rd not far from our house when i called out for him to “stop you arent gonna believe this” he stops and backs up and there stood amongst 4 other deer was a skewbald doe, we could not believe our eyes. we had never seen anything like it before. we ride that way every so often now to see if we can see her, but we havent seen her since and no one in the area has ever seen nor killed her, so i guess we were just fortunate enough to get to see her! it’s one of those things that will stick with you the rest of your life.

I just saw a piebald doe while sitting in my deer stand just the other day! I got to watch her and 5 other does for about 20 mins. I took some pics of her and look at them everyday. What a pretty deer and a great experience! That is a great buck!!!
It would’ve been nice if these people had just TAKEN A PHOTO OF THIS POOR ANIMAL WHILE IT WAS STILL ALIVE instead of feeling compelled to kill it–especially since it was so RARE!
This was a Sacred Animal to My People, the Lakota, but it is obvious that NOTHING is sacred to White People. I hope you enjoy the rewards of your “Prize”.
Oh, go piss up a rope, red man
it is an sacred animal if u hunt it if it was sacred, there is no reason because it is sacred that u cant kill it, and actually if i understand, killing this animal as an indian would make u a warrior
