Rarely (if ever) do I agree with Kroll, but piebald deer are in fact more prone to skeletal deformities, sensory issues (poor eyesight being the main problem), and are typically noticeably smaller than regular whitetails. Add that on to the lack of camouflage, they have higher rates of predation as fawns because they stick out like a sore thumb. I don't know how to post a dang picture on here but there are articles with X-rays and necropsy reports on piebald deer fawns that die shortly after birth. Yes, they're beautiful and I consider myself lucky any time I see one, but if it were in my scope it'd be down and turned into a nice rug.
