I see piebald does here in Goldendale from time to time.  See my post above.  There is a doe running around here in the north end of town that has at least 3 white socks.  Looks kinda cool.  I never have my camera along when I see her though.  I know, I know.  It doesn't exist without a picture, and thats okay.

RadSav,
 I'm not sure about the other Cabela's but the one in Lacey has a fake elephant, rhino, and bald eagle. All the other taxidermy mounts are real.

Too many stores and not enough elephants I guess.  A friend booked an elephant hunt through Cabela's.  They made the offer for his cape before he even sent in his deposit (way more than 13 in hunt credits).  After the guy ahead of him had a bad hunt Cabela's called and advised him to cancel the hunt as the outfit was no longer reliable.  That's some dang good faith on Cabela's part :tup:

I came real close to having the caribou in my avatar full mounted for donation to Cabela's.  Even with a shoulder mount he's almost too big for our place.  Even with vaulted ceilings it's tight.  Decided I would make room in the house come hell or high water.  I want him looking at me each morning ;) But if Cabela's had been closer  :dunno:


Idk. I think the kitchen table placement when I had you build my bow strings was a pretty good location for that caribou  :tup:

Hasn't moved too much :chuckle:  Still waiting on the taxi to request the horns.

Piebalds are due to bad inbreeding in the herd not got to have a round.

I think that theory has been discredited some time ago.  It is widely believed now that it is a gene mutation similar to that which causes melanistic traits in pheasant that occurs naturally.  If you breed two melanistic pheasant you will get melanistic pheasant.  But breeding standard pheasant will result in melanistic traits by law of nature not inbreeding.  Same seems to be holding true in the research of piebald deer.

BTW - That deer in the OP was not taken in WI.  It was taken in Texas.

I've never seen one, but I'd bet they exist seeing as how wide spread the blacktails are.

Seen more muledeer with horns and female genitalia than any other deer species.  That's always a surprise to find.
