Most Wanted Pic: Quebec’s Piebald Deer
A fourteenth deer entry has been added to the Muskoka Outdoors ‘Most Wanted’ list photo contest. These piebald fawns, from Quebec, started a google search for me to find more details about this genetic condition.
This photo is a submission from, Mitch, who is from the beautiful province of Quebec.
It turns out that Piebald deer are, simply, deer with a brown and white spotting pattern. Sometimes, they can almost be all white (like an albino deer) but they are NOT considered the same (Sources: Wikipedia and Buck Manager).
Mitch, shares with the photo entry,
“Here in Quebec we are not allowed to shot does… but I would like to share this picture of our albino triplets… I captured them on my outdoor camera:)“
Harvested Piebald Deer
A second Most Wanted photo was submitted. This unique photo comes from Mitch who harvested this piebald buck in at the end of October in 2011. Last year, he had submitted a game cam photo of piebald fawn triplets. Piebald deer have irregular 'brown' and 'white' colouring in their fur due to an uncommon gene expression. They are not true white albino deer.
Thanks for the photo Mitch and hope you enjoy your winter venison.
