OT/Question For You Wisconsin People.

I recieved this email & was wondering if these pictures were real. I checked out snopes.com but couldn't find anything about it. Wondered if any of you Wisconsin guys had heard about it?

These photos are of a "calico" buck that was shot in Wisconsin. I am told that Cabela's paid $13,000.00 for the head & hide. It is said to be more rare than an albino.

state guys. They taste best when harvested

Petty Tricky.
Almost looks like this buck's daddy met up with a jersey milk cow.

Don't know anything about that one specifically but the image is of a piebald deer. They are pretty rare but do exist. Do a google search to learn more.

May the good Lord bless you.

Approx fifteen years ago I seen a bunch of deer off the side of the HWY. It was a very untraveld road, so I spun the car around at 90 degrees to take a head count. I seen that exact thing...not maybe near that big. I was very puzzled at first till it head slapped me that it was indeed a deer. It was with probably a dozen white tail deer. It was approx two miles south of Pikes Peak look out South of McGregor Iowa. Probably three quarters of a mile from the Mississippi river. There had always been talk of a Albino in the area, but the hunters pretty much agreed to respect the land owners and let them harvest it if they so desired to do so.

Yea, I have had a few that agreed I never lied to anyone that any person had witnessed, but you could tell some doubted me a little bit.

Please check it out as being for real in this case, it sure looks pretty big.

Thanks Ryan,
I googled piebald deer and came up with numerous images....I thinking that Cabela's might have over paid for that 'head & hide'.

Check out the link. The deer was shot this year in Texas at a private ranch and was not sold to Cabela's as the story goes.

We have a 2 does and a buck like that here in my neck of the woods. Thought my paint stallion had been busy the first time I saw them.

Calico deer are killed around here once in a while. Most people regard them to be a result of overpopulation.
