Yeah Terry...
That is COOL!

Years ago I lived in Cedarville Michigan for about five years.   There was a small group of these critters that showed themselves frequently.  Awesome!   have never seen them prior or after.  I consider myself lucky to have had that experience..

I have never seen a piebald deer, even though they are periodically seen in the area. Also, I have never hunted in snow. I came close once, but it was more ice than snow. So many limbs and trees were breaking, though, that I was a bit scared and left early. I really liked these pictures. Maybe some day, I will get to take some like these.

Great photo - not just the subject, but a great photo.  I used to hunt an area in Northern Virginia that had a matriarch piebald doe.  I watched her over 3 seasons with different fawns.  Most were normal color, 2 had minor piebald markings.  The landowner and other nearby landowners told us we could shoot any deer on the property except the piebalds.  She got hit by a car the fourth year and we stopped seeing any more.  I also saw a completely white yearling with a normal doe (mother) one day about 20 miles from the first location.  The yearling was probably piebald and not albino.  I never got to see any of them in the snow.  What a rare treat!

I wondered if that's where you were. I believe that's the same deer I've seen many times.  By Wright state university?

If you did not notice the horizonal line, you might miss seeing the deer.  :clapper:
