Doesnt look piebald to me.

Could be blowing out his winter coat

[chrismcd]

[Liveforthehunt]

Ticks maybe ?

Shedding their winter coat.

Winter coat ...... lots of hollow guard hairs, heavier coat, greyish /greyish brown, distinct black forehead patch, white front neck patch, and rump patch.
Spring moult ...... patchy coat, lots of hair loss, deer look somewhat sick and skinny ......
Summer coat ..... usually a rich brown color overall .....
Blue coat ..... this is the early winter coat with the hair still short. Sometimes has a slight bluish color ...... nice hides!
Back to winter coat ....

Just shedding its coat. They all look hideous like that this time of year. Marks on its back could be something else those, some kind of growth maybe but not related to the coat looking haggard. That's just spring time change over

Looks like warts on its back between the shoulders. Otherwise just shedding.
