My first piebald sighting

[Tx_Razorback]

Just wanted to share my first Piebald sighting here in Texas. I have been managing this low fence property for 3 years now and not sure where this guy came from. Just popped out this weekend and started hanging around a mature buck that frequents this area. You see some strange stuff down in South Texas but this was a shock coming down the sendero.

I would probably shoot him if I saw him. Just to get rid of that gene line.

We ended up taking him on Sunday. Weird seeing him up close with that weird overbite and white hooves.

He looks healthy enough to eat. I am sure he will be good for that.

Wouldn't want him on the property. There are some breeders in Wisconsin or Michigan that have a white line and piebald line deer they stock. If you want to do something like that it is probably worth a look. But I wouldn't inject those genetics into your herd, and I'd kill everyone one I'd see.

That is wild! I think you made a good choice.

That’s a crazy looking buck! Given the genetic defects that piebalds usually express, I think you made the right decision. Thanks for sharing. Certainly don’t get to see that every day.

He sure has a diff look about him. I was wondering if it was a whitetail or not - head shape seems off.

Neat critter.
