I was hunting rabbits and I thought that a dog was chasing a doe, I was about to shoot (the dog) when I figured out it was a fawn. :bdid: I have only seen tow other Appaloosa's since, all does.

Post by: BC CHASER on September 11, 2008, 10:13:08 PM: I have seen some call the piebald on here, we have always called the pinto's. Is one the right term?

Post by: 300rum on September 11, 2008, 10:14:47 PM: Piebald is the correct name but to me it is a dessert without the whip cream. Appaloosa has always been kind of a colloquial name.

Post by: jackelope on September 11, 2008, 10:15:15 PM: i believe piebald is the technical name for the color phase or whatever you want to call it....appy and pinto both kind of make sense.

A few years later we seen one like in the picture above in the same area. I wonder if it was related?

Post by: Bronson on September 12, 2008, 02:05:35 PM: I saw a piebald doe up around Taneum two elk seasons ago. At first I thought it was someones goat that got loose somehow. I called the regions bio to see if they wanted to know about it. He didnt seem too interested and said there are some around and that they are legal to shoot. Kind of a cool thing to see.
