That's it. I'm considering that doe to be an exotic and I'm gonna find her and shoot her this weekend!! I'm pulling names off this thread to testify at my trial...

There are no exotics up here in Stevens County and we have deer that look Exactly like the one posted. Not a cross breed.Period

Since 1997 when I started bowhunting the Colville area, I have seen these same markings on 15-20 whitetail does in the area I hunt. I've only seen the the striped spots during the early season as they walk directly under my treestand. Definitely an interesting thing to see. Definitely not a cross breed trait as I know people in adjacent units that have seen it as well.

Tried to keep it comical... Don't you love how I got you guys saying   PERIOD    And it seems to me my answer(genetics) are just as good as yours. Have you EVER seen one of these spotted along the back deer? I have and I have lived with them everyday. You or anyone else can not convince me the deer in my yard are Sitka/Fallow crossbreeds. And here it comes              PERIOD

How many Fallow deer does it take to establish Fallow deer genetics in a Mule deer herd with their offspring?  I believe the answer is one (1). 
How many times does a Fallow deer need to mate with a Mule deer in order to pass on it's genetics to the offspring?  I believe the answer is once.
Will the offspring pass those genetics off to future offspring?  Yes.
Do genetics transfer within larger groups of deer? Yes. 

'Period' is an assumption and not a definitive fact.

 :yeah: Very likely and very possible period! Mule deer just don't get rows of spots on their back out of the blue

Sitka..  Guess I should have said   Wild Free Ranging exotics in Stevens County... The odds of it happening are  well...the same as Obama telling the truth.. Period

I won't argue with your odds. I never bet against the house. But escaped farm animals is a fairly serious problem all over the country. In some  cases the result is the spread of disease such as Chronic Wasting Disease, Tuberculosis, and Brucellosis. But it can also cause cross breeding and introduction of exotic genes into wild deer and elk populations. It's actually a pretty big worry in places like Texas that has a big exotic hunting industry along with a huge whitetail deer population. The other problem with exotic escapees is if they get established they can be hard to get rid of as is the case with wild boars. Or they can displace a local native game population that doesn't compete as well.

Here's a list of some game farm escapes that one guy has compiled and it's not a complete list by any means. And besides game, fish farms are just as guilty. There is evidence of farmed Atlantic Salmon escapees getting a foothold here on the West Coast.

http://chronic-wasting-disease.blogspot.com/2013/09/cwd-cervid-captive-livestock-escapes.html

Here's a story from Maine about escaped Fallow Deer.

http://bangordailynews.com/2012/09/14/news/midcoast/nobleboro-deer-farm-owner-disputes-claims-about-escaped-animals/?ref=relatedBox

Now I don't know to what extent exotics were raised in Eastern Washington before the ban, but if there were more ranches with them besides the one Pygmy linked to, it's very possible one or more escaped and bred with local deer. And who knows where any hybridized deer ended up?

Hopefully you are right and there aren't any, period.

Are there fences in you area where the deer duck under?
Billions of em but they're not bald spots, they're spot spots.
