Rare I think black tail
« on: December 22, 2021, 06:25:01 PM »
So I was out testing my new SxS in capital forest today and saw a black tail doe with a this year fawn. It was white with a brown head. I have pictures but can’t seem to post them. If this is something you guys want to see I can send pics to someone who can post. No I’m not a scammer, just can’t figure how to post pics.

Try screen shot of your pic and then try posting. That fixed my problems when posting.
Maturity is when you have the power to destroy someone who did you wrong but instead you breathe, walk away, and let life take care of them.

Nice piebald blacktail!

I have also seen them in the south Puget Sound area.  It is a somewhat rare genetic condition.  On Orcas Island, up in the San Juans, there seems to be a good number of piebald blacktailed deer- perhaps there is less "predation penalty" on the islands for having a more visible hide.   

Thank you for sharing!

Cool! Hadn't heard of a piebald blacktail before, but a quick Google search shows they've had them in Clallam County and on Whidbey Island.

This is in capital forest. Pretty close to the Rock candy parking area.

Seen quite a few on North Whidbey, plus an 4x4 albino buck that might have had couple stickers.

Used to be a few piebalds in the Humptulips area.  Not sure if they are still there.
