Those are actually called "Pinto" deer...not a true albino but some genes in the system. I have taken or seen several somewhat the same but not with as much marking. I did see one true albino 2pt. taken in the greenwater area over 20 years ago and I saw a true albino doe on the Snoqualmie treefarm about 15 years ago on the hoof when I was hauling logs out. It will sure make a nice and extra special trophy tanned hide and conversation piece.............Les

They are technically and scientifically referred to as Piebalds.  They are commonly referred to as Pinto's or Calico's.  Verbage aside, that is one cool looking deer and one to remember

Ive seen three deer like that. Two in Columbia county Oregon back in the 70's and one in the Washougal unit a couple of years back. Cool looking animals.

If you want to see one like that just make a trip to Fox Island. In all the years of land surveying over there i have seen several like that.

Beautiful animal. Congratulations.
