I got pix of what I believe are at least three different Piebald deer.  Is it possible the patchwork patterns change as fall progresses?  I am trying to use other identifications to determine just how many different piebald deer there are.  Several years ago a neighbor shot a piebald deer but this is weird.  Probably 4 Piebald deer in one area?  Is that possible?  These seem to have the same characteristics as the one killed several years ago.  Most of the white hair has slightly brown ends which gives the white areas a slightly gray look. 

I call this one "Rump" due to brown rump


Other side or "Rump"


I call this one "Spotty" due to all the small spots


Other side of "Spotty"


I call this one "Half and Half" top brown bottom white


I call this one "Tuxedo" wearing white shirt

I don't think they are piebalds or albinos. It looks like its just their winter coats coming in. Just the way it looks with nighttime pictures.
Anything that is free is worth saving up for.

dakids,
I got that same comment from others.  Maybe so but I have 1000's of pictures taken over many years and have never seen this before.  Anyone else get these odd photos using infrared for night photos?

IR photos tend to show up as black and white on my cameras. Your pics do look like normal fall shedding. If you get more pics watch for the blotches to get larger or smaller, depending if it is new or old hair.
