Actually if you look close, the diet has light brown coloring on it's hocks and muzzle. that is why the term piebald and not albino (eyes would be pinkish). someone told me they are illegal to hunt, too

Welcome to Project Noah from a fellow Long Islander! Did the deer have any brown or was he all white?
