Yes to you good luck! A few things I forgot is he's not a big deer in stature. Smaller head and frame. If he was two years old when I saw him in 2012 that makes him 5 1/2 years old. His teeth will be aged just to know how old he is. From the many hundreds of deer I have caped many deer never get big in stature. Its all in genetics which is very interesting. Thanks guys and good luck is going to get good real soon.

Beautiful beast Ishi, congrats.
The physical characteristics that you describe are quiet common in piebald deer, which this one is.
Piebaldism is a genetic trait that is not desirable despite it's uniqueness and relative rarity. They're cool to look at because of this but not something we should consider propagating. Also, not many piebald bucks grow that much antler.
Congrats again!
