I told you I was going to get a photo one way or another. This photo was taken by my friend Gabe. He is a co-worker and I thank him for allowing me to use it.


This photo was taken with a cell phone and you can plainly see it is a solid white doe even though the picture is a little fuzzy. This absolutely amazes me. I have spent hours all over the woods in my lifetime and have never ever seen a white deer. I have asked other people since seeing this one and the popular answer seemed to be that people usually see them brown and white with the white areas being very large. News to me though I had no clue such a creature existed.

I’d liked to hear from my outdoor buddies on this one… Has any one else seen a white whitetail deer in the wild?

On another note… I got a surprise weekend off, which is a very cool thing. :)

  1. not really,
    but I will be writing a story about a white buck for Christmas

  2. The deer with brown and white patches are called “piebald”.
    I personnaly have never seen an albino or a piebald deer. I Did see 2 albino squirrels playing together at a campsite in Westerville, Ohio though.That was pretty cool.

  3. I hate this picture is not better… I had never seen one and definitely didn’t know they had a specific name other than albino… that’s interesting.

    I bought a new camera… now let her show herself.
