If you're going to do something with the hide, shoot her.
If not, don't. She'd be neat to see around from time to time.
At first glance, I thought she was 3 legged, but then I noticed that back right one was just tucked behind the other one.

If it doesn't have an obvious injury and I'm not worried about its survival due to that, I would not shoot it. My explanation is that I'm not starving and don't need the meat.

If you need to kill does and you like this one, she's pretty big kill her. If your doe numbers are good, don't kill her just because she's different. If you think she's special because of the color, keep her around and she might make more. Then you could kill one and still have some around.

I'd shoot it. It's meat to eat.

I wouldn't shoot it..ever..period. This ^^^^^^. Easy deer to identify I would keep notes about where she is seen, how many fawns she has each year etc. You could learn some neat stuff

Would not shoot be cool to have around there are plenty of other does out there if you just need meat.

There is no biological reason -- only emotion -- to protect a piebald or albino. If anything, they should be removed from the population. States that have laws protecting these deer are clear examples of societal passion/emotion overruling biology.
It's incredible how many hunters will lose their minds about not shooting "little bucks" or will shoot something "to get the genetics out" and have little understanding about genetics but will protect a deer only because it looks cool.

you ain't going to change the herd genetics by shooting that one deer anyway...

I would not shoot for this reason above. Nothing biological, but I would enjoy watching her. I've had the chance to see one piebald deer in my life. Bibb county in December of 2007. Beautiful animal to watch in the woods.
Ya'll are just overthinking it now

Its appearance would have little bearing. I usually shoot one doe a per year for meat and then go for antlers.

Nope.
If you saw her as a fawn, you'd know her exact age, it would be cool to let her live and watch her for her life span. She'd be easy to identify , might glean some knowledge from watching her.
