shot this doe late last night was warm today so I put her in a cooler with ice overnight & today & it wasn't until thisafternoon that I realized the short lower jaw & oversized ears. sorry the pics aren't better but deer has been in a cooler not sure it this doe qualifies as a piebald but definitely neat & I'm gonna tan the hide for sure

Not many people know the world record non-typical whitetail that was found dead near St. Louis, MO also had a short lower jaw. I assume the short mandible doesn't effect their ability to eat any with a world class rack. Maybe does with short jaws grow big ears and bucks with short jaws grow big antlers. As a side note I once saw a 5x5 buck hanging from a game pole in PA back in the '60s that also had a short jaw AND was a piebald. Interesting. bw

I would call it piebald, but what do I know...

Definitely some interesting genes in that one. Crazy looking lower jaw.

Congrats on the venison. That hide will be an interesting conversation piece.

Let us know. We had a piebald we could not eat. The meat was saturated with so much fat it tasted terrible. The dog didnt even want it. Good shooting for you.

Interesting deer. Shot a piebald about 10 years ago in the late bow season. Tasted the same as any other deer from that area.

Interesting looking doe..... id call her piebald and get the hide tanned as well ;)

Know how to catch a unique doe?

Unique up on it

Sorry i couldn't help it.

Congrats!

Awesome Trophy!

The first deer I ever shot was when I was 16 and it had a short lower jaw like that. It was a 6 pt buck. I got it mounted and I told the taxi to emulate the short jaw. He forgot to do it and it came back mounted with a regular length jaw. I told him about it and he said he wondered why the skin there was so hard to stretch. P'd me off that he forgot my directions on the order.

I would never shoot a piebald or albino deer....especially a fawn!

Good shooting, that'll make a nice hide. Congrats!

looks like it bred with a mule lol

I shot a piebald buck in 89. Last day of archery. Had a short jaw, deformed antlers, must have only field dressed at 80 lbs. I thought it was a goat at first, chasing does. Tasted great. Congrats on your deer Timex!!

Nice!

I killed a turkey with a short beak like that. He had normal ears. Got a picture somewhere. Amature tom.

Yes its awesome. I love pie balls.

Short beak Gobbler.

Yes, it's a piebald. Pretty cool. I've killed two. Joe Hamilton, founder of QDM and a classmate of mine at UGA, told me that around 4% of the whitetail population carries the recessive gene responsible for this condition.

It's the deer equivalent of the dorkfish ;-)

Congratulations on shooting a unique doe, enjoy that venison.

Nice..

Therifleman,

Know how to catch a tame doe?

Tame way...

Did some research on piebalds and albinos and overbites are common with these type deer as is also short or deformed legs and Roman noses...

I shot a buck with same overbite and short legs years ago. Watched him tip his head to feed ground level. 2 yrs later the neighbor boy shot one same type of jaw. You will probably see it again... Wish mine had been a piebald.

Hey Liquid Amber - An piebald/albino bred to a normal pigmented animal without the recessive gene for albinism would only produce all normally pigmented offspring, but in turn, these offspring would carry the recessive gene for piebald/albinism. From what I’ve studied, when carriers of the recessive gene for albinism breed, there is a one-in-four chance they will produce and albino offspring.

I shot a long horn spike several years ago that had a short lower jaw. nobody i have asked about it had seen anything like it. this is the first time i have seen another. My deer was not piebald though.

I mounted a buck with an overbite like that once. I was at the point of cutting the lower jaw of the form to cut 1-1/2" off and I thought "I should call and ask if he wants it this way or to give it a normal bite for once in it's life". The guy said make it normal. I was happy because I would have had to put a mouth insert into the form to make it work.

I shot a doe some years back... don't recall any jawbone anomalies, but she WAS kinda built like a low-rider....

Maybe a recessive Limousin beef gene...?

Good shot....nice one
