Hunting & Fishing Hunting Opening Day

[Jackson/Charvelfan1]

Hello Everyone,

Just thought I would share some pics from my last hunt at a friend's Family Farm on the Eastern in MD.

The spike is the one I took this year. I am going to have the hide processed as I have not seen anything like this.

The spike is what they call "piebald", seen one in the wild. They are rare and usually get picked off due to their color.

I have seen a few and my brother has seen a lot of piebald deer. They are common in central NJ. Its a genetic thing so it varies by area.

Thanks. Yeah I have not seen a hide like this before. It will be great once I get it tanned. At the farm they told me they had a full albino before. Unfortunately he got hit a few years ago. I am very happy to have this one.

There was one state that has a herd of piebald deer and if i remember right they were protected. Michigan state comes to mind for some reason.
