" Piebald Deer Symbolism in Hunting
Unlike the beliefs held by ancient Indian cultures, the sighting of a piebald deer in hunting culture can mean something entirely different.
White deer have long been the subjects of hunting myth and legend. Just seeing a piebald deer could historically be a negative experience for a superstitious hunter. Some hunters would abandon their hunt immediately at the site of a piebald animal.
Killing a piebald deer brings along a whole other set of myths and superstitions.
Some hunters believe that killing a piebald buck brings a curse of bad hunting luck. Other myths are even more stark. In parts of Europe, for example, some believe that hunters who kill piebald or white deer will die within a year.
There are old stories of hunters inadvertently killing a piebald buck and praying for forgiveness so they could continue on with their hunting careers. "
