Orcas Island  in late August.



Lots of piebald and even some pure white blacktail deer in Whatcom County. The white one I looked at closely with binos at 30 yards was not albino but was pure white all over.

Have also seen them farther south along I-5 in Skagit County and seen some in Clallam County on the Penninsula.

Sure a pretty hide on some of them.  One on the Penninsula had a palm sized black patch on its side amid the appaloosa piebald markings.

NOT caused from inbreeding, but can be enhanced by inbreeding.   
(More chances of getting like traits).  Thus enhancing the amount of piebald, however can come with other costs.

The piebald buck I have spent the most time watching is definitely a loner.  I haven't seen him in several months.......

Saw this piebald doe yesterday near The Dalles dam on the WA side. Real cool to see one in person. Never knew about them till I saw this thread in 2015.

As long as we have the habitat, we can argue forever about who gets to kill what and when.  No habitat = no game.

Quick research reveals that piebaldism appears to be completely unrelated to abinism.  Piebalds did not arise from albinos and are not a result of inbreeding, but the gene is apparently long lived through many generations, so the number of animals in an area carrying the recessive gene may increase in number over time, possibly leading to some areas having a higher incidence of piebald animals over other more normal areas. Overall, it appears that about 2% of deer are piebald, though many have other more serious complications related to the affected gene, and so don't survive to maturity.

Saw piebald deer in the Swakane drainage.
Reading these posts, there was no mention of length of hair. The one I saw had hair 6 inches long and the ears had long silky hair.
