Calico Buck

[Diehard0123]

Forgive me if this was already posted, I did a search and did not find it
Here is something I got thats floating around the internet, I don't know if its legit or not but here is the story:

Here is a crazy buck that a hunter got in WI. He sent these pictures to a
bunch of people to see what he could get and the owner of Cabela's paid him
$13,000 for the head and hide. A calico buck like the one below is rarer
then an albino.

I saw a doe one year that looked just like that.  That same year a buddy killed a 2pt that looked just like that.  Both blacktails.

have seen a couple over the years like that, they are called "piebald"

Those deer are referred to as "Piebalds".

They are more common than an Albino.  Melanistic being the rarest.

I saw a blacktail doe that looked like that this year in the 418 unit. She had a fawn with her and it did not have any markings at all, just normal color.

2 years ago there was a nice bt shot up on capital peak looked alot like those. Also there are 2 or 3 running around the Lacey area. I'll see if i can get ahold of the pics a friend of mine took with her camera over by the mushroom farm.

That is interesting.  Couple years ago I saw a doe up in the CF area with Piebald markings.

I use to see 3 or 4 a year and hear of at least another couple taken.  I mounted a nice Piebald 8 point (East standards) buck while I was down there.  Looked like a fawn that never lost it's spots.  Had quarter to 50 cent piece size spots all over it.

I saw one like that across the Cowlitz river at the barrier dam about 20 years ago, and a true albino doe a year or two after that.  Fun to see something different every once in awhile.
