piebald deer

[mainland hunter]

Just wondering if any of you have ever seen any piebald deer while hunting. There's a couple hanging out close to my place in abbotsford.
haven't been able to get a picture of the ones here but here's a couple pics of one from the US for those who don't know what i'm talking about.

We once a snow white mulie doe in the Redfern lake area. She wasn't albino, just white all over.

PIE!!!!!!

My brother photographed a piebald moose in his front yard at Fraser Lake 10 years ago. He saw a lot in the area that were black with white spots, white with a bit of black and all white. The one he got a picture of looked like an Indian pony. He once had to wait for a white bull to get out of the way so he could shoot a calf he had an LEH for. His neighbor almost hit 3 white moose in a snow storm.

Back in the day when I thought golf was a game that might be a stress relief there were two does living in the timber north of the fifth hole of Tall Timbers Golf Course at 232nd ST. and 56th Ave. in rural Langley.

I've never seen one while hunting but I did hear about (and see pics of) a few that are living in Bear Creek Park area in Surrey. One of them was a respectable looking buck other than the diseased looking color pattern! Apparently the coloring comes from some sort of genetic defect? I'd be curious as to if it has anything to do with environmental conditions such as living around an urban center with lots of pollution...any guesses?

I've been told that there are some on Orcas and Whidbey, but then thats not B.C.

very cool lookin animal..how big do they get?

I saw a pure white buck with a doe, he was moving so fast I thought I was hallucinating. Then my dad saw him so he was real, or the fumes from his truck were affecting us. Have seen it in moose as well.

the same as any deer I believe, the ones here are blacktails and they look to be the same size as the others they hang out with.

Given the opportunity would you cut your tag on one.?I have never seen one other then in pictures , how often does this occur.?common/rare.

[Dannybuoy]

I seem to remember that white deer (albino?) were not all that rare on sumas mountain when I was a kid .... maybe some of you old timers from the abby area would be able to shed some light on that ? I havent been in that area since I was a teen

In a heartbeat. :wink:
Then I'd get Ray to stuff it, and hang it on the wall. :cool:


The clean lines of a Piebdald Doe would be NICE. :mrgreen:

So far I have not seen piebald or white deer, but I sure have received a lot of reports from hunters in the USA and here in Canada that have seen such critters. It seems there are more of them every year.
Maybe global warming is to blame for it.:smile:

I would love to have gotten the white buck I saw, he had a very nice rack, and I am curious if he would have been the other white meat.
