She strolled thru camp Tuesday at 1pm while I'm sitting drinking a beer. I wasn't sure if it was a goat or a lama. Upon ground check, once in a lifetime doe. Having the hide tanned.

Nice fallow doe, congrats

That would've been my first guess too. Any exotics in the area? Either way, congrats.

Abilenehogman1 · 01-12-2018, 11:03 PM

No exotics anywhere. Had her checked by the local game wardens and confirmed.

Leucistic animals lack pigment over all or part of their bodies Leucistic deer can be varying levels of white – some contain white splotches, some are half brown and half white, some appear nearly all white. Mixed brown and white animals are often known as piebald deer. (Confusingly, many deer biologists and hunters use “piebald” to describe all leucistic deer).

kd350 · 01-12-2018, 11:10 PM

Congrats!

BDR · 01-12-2018, 11:11 PM

Sure looks like a fallow to me. The hair on her neck, and from the pics she appears to have the fallow deer “adams apple”, and her tear ducts look slightly bigger like a fallow from what I can tell. Really cool kill regardless of what species congrats.

First thing I noticed was the Adam’s apple

blntrey3 · 01-12-2018, 11:54 PM

Sierracharlie out…

Take Dead Aim · 01-13-2018, 07:18 AM

I'm seeing fallow. Either way congrats.

flywise · 01-13-2018, 07:43 AM

Sweet
It's not often they meet.you by the hanging pole. She must have decided it was going to get to cold and she'd rather die.

I’m aware about piebald, melanistic, and leaucistic deer- it’s just that deer is a white fallow doe

you probably thought it was a llama because of it’s sheep-like face (common fallow trait). And check out that Adam’s apple and short tail...

texan16 · 01-13-2018, 09:51 AM

Sure looks a lot like a fallow to me, will make a cool rug either way. Congrats!!!

Reedimus · 01-13-2018, 09:52 AM

Mega albino fawn

red-fin · 01-13-2018, 10:16 AM

Sure has a long neck!! Cool looking, good kill.

A good pic of the muzzle would help for any questionable identification. Tail looks shorter than most fallow deer. Adam’s apple is obviously going to look enlarged regardless of species when it’s neck and head are bent back like that. If it’s hair is shedding like a long haired dog then that would help I’d as a fallow too.

popup_menace · 01-13-2018, 12:35 PM

That don’t look like any whitetail I’ve seen. Neck is too long, tail is too short, and the hooves are longer than any whitetail I’ve shot.

Landrover · 01-13-2018, 01:17 PM

That's cool.........full body mount it!!!!

Double-Drop · 01-13-2018, 02:04 PM

Hoss163 · 01-13-2018, 04:29 PM

Congratulations I seen a white whitetail doe in the field just north of i20 where hiway 36 comes into I20 just east of the new hooters a few years ago !

I see what you are saying about the hooves, but the neck and adams apple could be from the noose, lol.

Those were white fallow. I saw 4 of them a few times, then 2 of them a couple times. The first time I saw them they were only 50 yards off the access road, and I got a good look at them. They probably got out of Musgrave's high fence pasture that's a mile or so off the interstate. I saw a dead axis doe on the access road in the same area one time.

The deer in the OP's post is a fallow as well.

Old Bald Guy · 01-13-2018, 10:32 PM

White fallow for sure.

R.W.T · 01-13-2018, 10:36 PM

Nice deer !!

rferg84 · 01-14-2018, 12:23 AM

Gonna have to get this doe on the Maury Povich show for DNA testing.

wanderin39 · 01-14-2018, 05:56 AM

Congrats, anyway you look at it you see fried tenderloin and a nice throw rug.

Snowflake Killa · 01-14-2018, 05:57 AM

He said he was strolling around having a beer not stumbling around drunk great shot

Snowflake Killa · 01-14-2018, 09:44 AM

Heck he had to ground check it first before it vanished glad he did could have gone to the neighbors

jaker_cc · 01-14-2018, 11:42 AM

Cool white animal (until further identification) drinking and hunting, drinking and smoking, driving and hunting, smoking and hunting...... who cares, just enjoy your time in the woods

Interesting that a game warden said that. So I guess you burned a WT tag on it? Sure looks like a fallow to me.

Grizz83 · 01-15-2018, 03:13 PM

Fallow.

Reminds me of a post quite awhile back by another guy on here that posted a pic of what he claimed was a mountain lion track, and he said it was confirmed to be a lion track by the GW.

The track was very obviously a dog track.
