Is this for real?

I got these photo's in an email today...caption said that this buck is very rare and shot in Wisconson, and sold to Cabella's for $13,000...Pretty awesome if it is true, and Pretty good photoshop if it's a fake....

Wow if it is true it's amazing if it's not it's some good photo doctoring.


I did find this about a white Wisconsin buck.

That's a piebald they are rare but not unheard of-I've shot the odd buck that has had a different marked cape almost roan in the chest.

Most likely a Longhorn cross.

Denny when I saw it I first thought that the Ayrshire influence will show up when you least expect it.

I found this doing some searching.

Be sure and read the last comment on the page. Arkansas is now thrown in where it was shot.

Ok..so the deer may be real...a piebald? but that's the problem with the internet..ya just can't trust where it was really shot! Heck it could of been shot in Husker country..lol Thanks guys...I'm still not convinced that this whole thing ain't a hoax...lol

Don't know where they shot this one- and didn't know thats what they were called --but I do know they exist as I've seen one...There was one on the river point straight north of us that the hunters were after for 2-3 years- but I never heard of anyone getting him...

Boy this winter/bitter cold/heavy snow cover is going to do a deer kill around here...Already finding fawns that are too weak to stand...Just froze to the ground dying...
They're sure tough on any haystacks they can get to....

We have white deer down here. I don't think they are albino as I've never been close enough to one to ck out their eyes but I've seen them from time to time.

They are usually really smallish so that hints at some sort of mutation kicking in.... When one is spotted it usually doesn't last very long though.

I kinda would like to see how one would grow out if left alone so maybe one will show up here on the homeplace and hang out with this gang that stays here.

A friend has mounted on his wall, his Dad shot it, a nice couple of buck's that don't have the "normal" white markings. They look like someone splattered pain on them.
No I don't know when they were shot. I do know it was here in Montana.
