The term `piebald`, used to identify a whitetail with at least one extra splotch of white hair, has an interesting origin. 'Pie' means 'mixed up;' 'bald' means 'having a white spot.' To a horseman, a 'piebald' is a horse with black and white splotches; one with brown and white splotches actually is known as a 'skewbald.' What a beautiful creature in our great wild outdoors!

Never seen one like that!
I have heard of the piebald coloration for deer, but haven't seen one until the pictures on your blog.
I have never seen one! Is that a local deer Marian? Jack
I don't think so Jack...someone sent me these pics and wanted to share them. I don't know where they got it from. Thanks for coming by everyone!
