OT Albino Buck

Spotted this albino buck in the back yard earlier . My wife has seen him before and described him to me. Here he is .You can also see the corner of my 1826 New Jersey barn stone base.

Piebald, not albino. Still a unique animal. He is a big one.

Might be called a piebald deer.
Nice buck for sure.

Wow...that's pretty cool looking. A true albino would be completely absent of pigmentation so I don't know what you call that critter. A young boy killed a full albino buck not far from our place this past season. I think he was 11 years old. Heard a rumor he was receiving death threats for killing the deer.

I think that may be a Chick Filet cow... Rather take a chance with the hunters than the slaughter house! LOL

Looks like some fallow deer the neighbor had 20some years ago. He had a few get out and they crossed with the local white tail. Still get an occasional throw back with some white blotches on em.

Looks like there might be some Ayrshire mixed in his ancestry!

We had an Albino come into the yard years ago. Pure white and Pink eyes.
Didn't taste any different than any other deer.

Disclaimer - I am not a hunter, I grow row crops.When game come near the gardens = I eat them or skin them for their pelts.

We have one of those deer and he's hard to photograph. Hal

Educate me here, please... I thought albinos, by definition, lacked ANY pigmentation, and that fellow seems to have about half of his?

What's the term for THAT?

RayP(MI) · Jan 14, 2015

That's piebald deer. An albino would be completely white with pink eyes. Both are legal game in Michigan. They bring inferior grnes into the gene pool and would best be culled for the benefit of the herd.

Some states it is illegal to shoot a albino or piebald; or at least it use to be illegal.

I am with you. They should be killed to clean out the gene pool especially since they can have other deformities.

The guys that posted piebald deer are correct. my wife had researched it when she saw it and wouldn't tell me the name. She said google it to see more pics of them.

Not all white deer are albino !! The ones with pink eyes are, the rest are just white deer. We in NY have a fascinating herd of these white deer. Google the white deer of the Seneca Army Depot for the full story..

That is one BRUTE of a deer! very mature! prolly 5-6+ years old. yes he is a Piebald. Please, keep an eye on him and give us an update on every now and then.
