I would. I'm not superstitious and as far as I'm aware it's not a genetic thing that is gonna get passed down just a random mutation.

I have never heard that it’s not genetic… But it’s rare snd probably recessive so it doesn’t show up often unless a buck like that is allowed to become the dominant buck in an area where there are some piebald genes floating around already.
I believe that indigenous folks will let piebalds and albinos walk for religious reasons, so I’m caught between a scientific predisposition to treat it like any other deer and willingness to honor their beliefs, for the same reasons that I wouldn’t throw a rock through a stained glass window or leave my head uncovered during a Jewish wedding or similar service. Just Bad Manners.
I’ll tell you what I did after I have had a good opportunity on one.

No to small And if you got it mounted it would look mostly like a brown deer.

“And if you got it mounted it would look mostly like a brown deer.”
A deer like that, you skin out very carefully and either display the entire hide, hair-on, or you sell it to Cabelas as a curiosity and they’d do a full-body on it….

Maybe. Would be nice tanned. I passed on a doe fawn a few years ago that looked similar.
