Calico Buck? What Incredible Luck!

I got an e-mail the other day from a friend in Florida who asked if I had ever seen a deer like this one, allegedly shot in Wisconsin. It was so beautiful that I pursued the story and found the same photo on a website called http://www.snopes.com/.

It's a cool site that is all about verifying or busting rumors. The page to see the deer story is

To make a long story short, the "piebald" deer was shot in Texas. And the hunter was not paid $13,000 by the sporting goods store, Cabelas, to sell it to them to display.


But it makes a good story. And the deer is still striking!


Check out this website sometime. But do it when you have lots of free time! There is some very entertaining stuff there...
