I spotted this on my way home from dinner last night. was standing on the tracks by the house 1/2 white 1/2 brown doe.
sorry its the best my phone can do but you can zoom in and get a better look.
That's pretty cool. I haven't seen many so far this year. A preacher hunting on the place next to mine say a decent buck, a spike and three does Saturday morning but none were within bow range.
no trail cam. we just turned on our road to the house and it was just standing there with some other ones. got lucky to get a picture the other ones took off when we stopped.
Missouri Dept. of Conservation Thanks for sending your picture! This condition is sometimes referred to as “piebald.” The more technical term would be “leucistic” or “partial leucism.” Basically, it is a recessive genetic condition that results in a reduction or absence of all skin pigments. Deer with this condition may be almost entirely white or like in the case of this deer be partially white. It is different than albinism, which is also a genetic condition (but it is the result of the absence of only the pigment melanin). Piebald deer are rare, but we do get reports of them periodically. --Heather@MDC
