I still don't understand why we can't shoot those in Oklahoma. It's just a genetic defect, but the wildlife department acts like they are a special breed. I had several chances to take one at Canton throughout the years. I'm sure he had died since, but he was a nice deer around 140-150. He would have made a nice mount.
Why?
A kid from Guthrie shot a nice piebald buck back in the 90's, before we had this law. It hit the papers, they crucified this kid.
A lady claimed the piebald buck was the reincarnated spirit of her dead father. I shi* you not.
A push for "protecting" white deer was made by her and other wackos, and we got the white deer law. NOBODY at the ODWC with half a brain wanted it. Nobody with half a brain thought it would pass.
Our legislative system is pretty screwed up. I still have the article in an old North American Whitetail magazine somewhere.
The law is poorly written, and borderline unenforceable IMO. And ignorant.
