The hunting season for deer will soon open in New Kent and they are as plentiful as rabbits. All are surprised to see several white deer among the herds. One lady while riding out on her farm on horseback was badly frightened when three of the white beauties jumped into the road ahead of her horse. The horse bolted, carrying the fair rider over fences and ditches, but being an expert rider she kept her seat until safe at home.

I did not know this until researching this piece that a piebald deer is entirely different than an albino one. From ncwildlife.org . . .
Piebald deer are deer that have blotches of white coloration on portions of their hide that are usually dark in color. Albino deer are deer that lack pigmentation and have a completely white hide and pink eyes, nose and hooves.
