(Here is a calico buck that a hunter shot over 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 this one is rarer then an albino.)

Not sure about being more rare than an albino.
It's not the fact that it is a Piebald that makes it rarer than an albino. It's that it is a Piebald with a very nice rack. Piebalds typically never get a rack that nice.

I'd have to say it is more common than an albino with a rack that nice :dunno: I've seen pictures of albino elk with nice racks, but never a deer. Though I do see pictures of nice piebald whitetail bucks every couple of years.
Nice piebald blacktail bucks are quite common in rural King and Snohomish Counties. When I lived in Issaquah there was a pair of 120-130 piebald blacktails that would feed in the neighbors rose garden. I called them trophy bucks one day and she told me, "Oh no you're wrong! Their my pets and part of the family." That might have changed if she knew they were worth 13 grand a piece ;)

I'm not sure about the other Cabela's but the one in Lacey has a fake elephant, rhino, and bald eagle. All the other taxidermy mounts are real.

RadSav,

Too many stores and not enough elephants I guess. A friend booked an elephant hunt through Cabela's. They made the offer for his cape before he even sent in his deposit (way more than 13 in hunt credits). After the guy ahead of him had a bad hunt Cabela's called and advised him to cancel the hunt as the outfit was no longer reliable. That's some dang good faith on Cabela's part :tup:
I came real close to having the caribou in my avatar full mounted for donation to Cabela's. Even with a shoulder mount he's almost too big for our place. Even with vaulted ceilings it's tight. Decided I would make room in the house come hell or high water. I want him looking at me each morning ;) But if Cabela's had been closer :dunno:

Idk. I think the kitchen table placement when I had you build my bow strings was a pretty good location for that caribou :tup:

Piebalds are due to bad inbreeding in the herd not got to have a round.
I think that theory has been discredited some time ago. It is widely believed now that it is a gene mutation similar to that which causes melanistic traits in pheasant that occurs naturally. If you breed two melanistic pheasant you will get melanistic pheasant. But breeding standard pheasant will result in melanistic traits by law of nature not inbreeding. Same seems to be holding true in the research of piebald deer.
BTW - That deer in the OP was not taken in WI. It was taken in Texas.

Is there such a thing as a piebald mulie??
I've never seen one, but I'd bet they exist seeing as how wide spread the blacktails are.
Seen more muledeer with horns and female genitalia than any other deer species. That's always a surprise to find.

Not sure about being more rare than an albino. As I have seen quite a few piebald's in Washington and have yet to see an albino. Sure is one cool deer though. Cabela's probably got a good deal at 13 for it. Don't imagine there are many of that quality running around. I'm sure they spent more than that on their elephants and those are much easier to come by.
Back in the 90's there was an albino hanging our in the fall city area. I saw him a few times.

There was a piebald fawn and an albino running together a few years ago North of Moses Lake. Both mule deer
