Abstract:

Occasionally a hunter will spot a deer referred to as piebald or calico. Howard explains how this condition which is the result of a genetic abnormality affects the appearance of the deer. It does not affect the health of the deer population in an area and should not be considered an indicator that something is wrong with the herd.
