Piebald deer would you shoot

[dogger1]

Shotgun season in quinte one of my partners saw the funniest 6 point . Had white head and neck dark brown fur , long nose and short stubby tail.asked why he didn’t shoot and he said didn’t know what it was .
you got to say okay as he was ethical in identifying his target .so would you shoot a piebald deer or let it pass .i know I would pass just to see it next year.

Have had a few chances over the years and never would I shoot one
We had one little buck in particular on our land and for years we seen more strange looking deer so we assumed he was breeding. It was super cool
A car eventually took him out
We have a small one on trail cam this year also and I hope no one kills it since it is a buck also

Full white first nations here believe are spiritual and I respect that also
Cheers

Nope. I ain't starving. I'd let the little freak go.

Shot a WT buck a decade ago with full white stockings and pink hooves.

My FN buddies all say that to shoot a "spirit" animal means no hunting luck for life. My "luck" is bad enough,so,I ain't taking any chances.

I want to say yes? But without actually being in that situation it's hard to say. I want to say a deer is a deer and if it's something I would shoot if it looked normal then I see no reason I wouldn't shoot it if it's got some funny colouring, if anything I feel like I'd be more interested in it because it makes the trophy that much more unique.

Hahaha! I was going to say "yes"...but then I read this...and my luck isn't so good either, so...

I wouldn't pass up a big buck beacuse of its color. A deer is a deer and if it's legal I'll take the opportunity to harvest it.

^^^^^^
This

 

[doublelung]

Yep, and then I would get it mounted for the trophy room.

 

[the spank]

Its not like it's so rare it should get a free pass....it's only a colour variation not a unique rare species.

 

[reddog9x19]

I think I would give it a pass due to its uniqueness. Sorry Spank.

BOOM!.......out of the gene pool....and into my belly!

 

[blasted_saber]

Absolutely. That gene should be removed from the gene pool.

There was a piebald moose shot here in NS last year. FN community’s were quite upset .
I was actually at the gun shop/taxidermist when they pulled in with it on the truck.

I’d let them go. There will be others

Sounds to me like you should have shot him.

Yup, pretty sure they grind the same for pepperoni.

 

[trevj]

Yep. Into the freezer.

Might even get the hide tanned for hanging over the couch back or the like.

 

[redbirddog]

I passed on one 3 years ago. Glad I did. I would never eat the thing.

 

[tigrr]

Yup.
