I’ve seen piebalds in the past. They don’t seem to be around long. I keep hoping to see a true albino.

I saw my first albino deer yesterday morning on the way home from work. A beautiful rather large antlered buck about a mile from my home. Deer in the back yard all the time but never of any of their caliber. He was with two of his Batchelor buddies who all sported quality headgear. Quite a moment.

If the deer is a buck, it will be forced to move to a different area to find a territory of its own after it matures. This avoids inbreeding. So a white or piebald deer has a 50/50 chance of being forced from the area where it is first seen and for the first year or a little more.

As in yesterday – they showed up twice so I got some more pictures as seen below. It looks like the piebald is beginning to show buttons on its head so it may be a buck. And its sibling looks like it might be a buck also. Will keep watching to confirm. What do you guys and gals think? And notice the close ups of that regular fawn and the ugly markings on its head and face I suspect from ticks and deer flies or ?? The piebald on the other hand looks pretty clean. Will keep an eye open and hope to get some more pictures as they grow up. But as Jerry predicts, if it is a buck, it may get booted to a different area. Be nice to see it once in a while tho. Of course, that assumes it gets through the deer season. And hopefully the other one will do OK despite the parasites on its face. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I "had" three albino deer here at the house around twenty years ago . I live within about 600 yards of a four lane road . If I'm not mistaken I heard thru the grapevine that all three were killed at night standing on the high bank of the highway by "ethical hunters" spotlighting .
