The only real excitement happened today as we were leaving. That’s when we saw this…
It’s a whitetail deer with piebald coloring. According to this article, whitetail deer actually come in five different colors. Brown is the most common. Then there are piebald (think a pinto pony), albino, white, and melanistic (really dark).
A neighbor told me a long time ago that they’d seen a white deer. It was just a matter of time before we saw it, too, I guess.
The pictures aren’t great ’cause we were in the truck and I was zoomed in pretty far. But they’re clear enough to give you an idea how weird it looked.
Gun season runs through December 6 in West Virginia. Let’s hope this one survives.
