Piebald

[mj robson 8]

Here's picture of a Piebald Roe buck, shot this morning in Fife by a Danish client.

 

From what I've heard it's more common in Does, but this is one of only a handful of such bucks shot in the UK

 

 

Cheers,

Mark.

Not out to split hairs but; Isn't that a Skewbald? Skewbalds are - to my knowledge - brown and white. 'Piebald' is black and white. I have quite an obsession with Piebald things myself.

 

Either way, weird enough looking thing.

bloody hell i should know that being into horses, your correct ditch, it should be skewbald.

very intresting... nice head on him too..... once had a similar head to that

 

[Rabbithunter 456]

that buck had obviously been attacked by dogs or something, and released...... so he was dropped with a .243

You are correct DS, I guess we learn something new every day!

 

Here is a quote I found from a web page on the topic,

 

Piebald horses or ponies are black and white, while skewbald is any other color and white.

 

Cheers,

Hi Alan,

 

This Buck came from ground near an estate where there are 2 Does with this condition, they've been there for a few years now and won't be shot. I've been told it can skip several generations then reappear like many other genetic conditions. Kind of like a dark haired couple having a ginger kid!

If I was lucky enough to grass a buck like that, I would be tempted to have the whole lot set up. Any idea how much a full body mount would cost?

 

There has been a few letters over the past few months in Shooting Times discussing roe with white markings, both to the face and body. Perhaps they are more common than people think. Now has anyone come across a true black roe, or are they a bit of a myth??

Taxidermy of a whole roe deer would be about £1500. Kinda reasonable as it makes a pretty large ornament!
