    I know you can't kill an albino in Illinois, but what about a piebald? I've never seen one until my last camera check and I've got a piebald fawn.

    Wow, you are lucky, I've always wanted to see one personally, if she makes it through her first rifle season I would be tempted to hunt her harder than any of the bucks I have around.

    I have seen a lot of deformities in them, curled hooves, over bite etc.

    Yes they are legal and I have been trying for years to get this doe with no luck. Been following her for a long time but she mainly stays on a NO HUNTING property and won't leave. LOL Some guys on here can tell you with how many pictures and videos I have posted on her over the years. What a special deer and would love to have her added to my family but she is also really cool to see walking around so tough call either way. I love chasing her with my camera also. LOL

    I would definitely shoot a piebald deer, once it was mature.
