I hadn't seen that before, pretty cool. I'm, guessing full body mount for that guy.
I'm going to the dogs.

I heard that Cabela's paid a pretty penny for the head mount.

I checked with Snopes.com about this buck, and apparently the above statement was false. Here is the info from Snopes.Originally Posted by MB_Boy
The photographs of the piebald deer shown above are real, although the animal was apparently taken in East Texas (not Wisconsin), and it was not
sold for $13000 to Cabela's
According to the Texas Big Game Awards web site, "Bellville resident James Curtis took this unique piebald whitetail in Palestine opening weekend of deer season" in November 2008.
The Buck Manager web site provides the additional information from Curtis' wife that: The deer was actually killed November 2, 2008, on a privately owned ranch outside of Palestine, Texas.
The piebald deer scored 138 5/8 gross with a total body weight of 195 pounds. My husband is getting the deer full body mounted. Anyways, I just wanted to give you this information since there are lots of emails going around saying the deer was harvested in Michigan, Arkansas, West Virginia, and Georgia just to name a few. One email even says that the deer was sold to Cabelas for $13,000!
