Title: Check out this blacktail - Piebald
Post by: billythekidrock on April 27, 2013, 08:33:40 PM: Today I checked a cam set on a trail on the edge of some reprod and got 5 videos of this cool looking blacktail and it's mother last month. I set this cam up hoping to catch a few deer and possibly a cougar that has been in the area.

They only came by the one time so far. Hopefully they will be back.

Post by: billythekidrock on May 05, 2013, 06:07:46 PM: I have not gotten a trail cam video of the piebald in over a month but we saw it today while scouting near the camera. The pic is blurry, but it shows the amount of coloration.

We also found clumps of shed white hair nearby.

We placed a second camera in the area in hopes of getting better photos.

Post by: ouchfoss on May 05, 2013, 08:56:45 PM: Would be cool to get some decent pictures of it. I've only seen five piebald ever and none were as colorful as that one. Last one I saw was actually a big doe about two months ago right along the highway in the Hoquiam watershed. No camera with me! :bash:

Post by: jeepasaurusrex on May 05, 2013, 09:12:26 PM: Years ago, Dad and I was hunting way back in Wayco out of North Bend. We were glassing a hill side while eating lunch one day. Suddenly Dad goes "That white rock just got up!"
It was a 100% Albino deer. We watched it feed for about 30min. It had a nice rack on it as well. Back then it was illegal to shoot Albino deer, so we just kept glassing for other deer. Wish we had a camera that day...

Post by: carpsniperg2 on May 05, 2013, 09:25:49 PM: Very cool. We see one about every 5 years around here. One of my old teachers killed a dandy 4x4 piebald years back.

Post by: billythekidrock on June 22, 2013, 02:15:46 PM: So after a another month soak I got a few more cam pics of this deer. This cam is set up about 100 yards away from where I got it the first time and about 25 yards from where I took the blurry photo.

It is pretty small and it would be very expensive for a full body mount so I don't know if we are going to target it or not. I pulled one cam but left one just to see if I could get some better pics.

Post by: Maligator on June 22, 2013, 02:54:40 PM: I've never seen one in he wild but he sure looks pretty cool ;)

I guess that would be considered a "hipster" :dunno: :chuckle:

Post by: bobcat on June 22, 2013, 03:01:33 PM: Glad to see you got some better pictures. Maybe wait till next year when it's a little bigger. But then you'd probably have to take it with an archery tag.

Post by: SemperFidelis97 on June 22, 2013, 03:41:50 PM: Beautiful deer I personally have never seen one in the wild.

Title: Re: Check out this blacktail - Piebald
Post by: billythekidrock on June 22, 2013, 05:14:38 PM: I went through all 2200 pics and found a few more on different days, but they were incidental photo ops. Pigeons were setting the cam off and I noticed white in a few pics about 75 yards away in the thick brush. Might have to put a better cam a little farther in.

Post by: Eli346 on June 22, 2013, 07:31:58 PM: I've seen 3 piebald deer along the D-Line in Capitol State Forest. Actually helped a guy get his first deer years ago on the north side of the Centralia Steam Plant. Saw the piebald and took some pics thinking it was a doe but after I put the camera up we realized it was a little buck so we ended up getting before and after pics. That was in the 35mm stage so I'm not sure where the pics are. He was going to tan the hide but didn't do it right and it slipped. Would have made a neat rug.

I used to see a doe up off the D 4000 that was spotted across her belly & rear. Saw it 3 times in a couple years but haven't seen for a few years now.
