Did you harvest the meat or just take the hide?

Beautiful Piebald Deer

Well at least you have the hide. I shot a beautiful piebald 5 point when I was 19 and my cousin said I could keep it in his freezer until I took it to my taxidermist. Sometime the next week, he unplugged the freezer so that he could use that outlet and he forgot to plug it back in…Ruined the hide, everything. Just sickening…
He also ruined a 5 1/2 foot timber rattler I had in there. Probably the biggest timber I’ve ever seen.

Backyard many years ago.
I don't kill anything I don't eat....except for squirrels in my yard...
Why do you regret it then? Out of season maybe?
I killed it because of what it was....I could have shot another doe at any time....I was not starving at the time
It provided. You definitely could have shot another doe, but from what I understand, these have genetic mutations that are not good to spread. You did a favor to the lineage, provided sustenance (you don't need to be starving), and have a great pelt.
Had an Indian tell me piebald were touched by God and an angelic
symbol to those who encounter them.
Anyone who shoots one is about to have their life disrupted.
As in finances,health,and divorce.
I've seen 2 from the road in the same area. Had permission to hunt 1/4 mile down the road but passed it up that year. The buck was a smaller 8 point.
