There is an area in North Eastern North Carolina that has deer with same coloration that are not small like most Piebalds. I have seen several nice 8 and 10 pointers that were colored in this fashion. I did kill a piebald when I lived in NC.

You start to see more of 'em in areas with a high deer density.  There's one chunk of state forest near me where they're relatively common.

I spent two years chasing around one little guy who's front half was brown and back half was entirely white.  Had some real close encounters, but no good shot opportunities.  He was always hanging around his mom and her fawns (all of 'em had at least a little white)... way too many eyes to draw on the ground.

We have a piebald buck on our place.  He was a spike two years ago and a nice 8-point this year.  I imagine he could hit 125 inches by next year.  He was seen in the last weekend in December so he survived the season, hopefully he can dodge the cars & coyotes between now and next season.

Shot one a few years ago in Central Florida. Not as distinct but the neck was mottled from the shoulders up. Tim Lewis' book "Bows, Swamps and Whitetails" , available from Three Rivers, has a pic of it on the cover,taken a couple years before I shot it.

There are a number of them in this general area.  I first saw them in the Hopewell Valley of western NJ, and over the last years a sequence of them in eastern PA.  The PA ones live more or less in the open space area behind my house and seem to have come about as a sequential increase in abnormal white markings as each of 3 generations passed. The last fawns that are very similar to the pictured deer are now about 2 1/2 years old.
