If you love hunting in Illinois, here's Kurt's full video, but there are some things to know. First of all, this is hunting so if you have a problem with seeing animals taken down in the wild, DO NOT WATCH. He does a good job of not sharing too much that's graphic, but it's still hunting. It's not for everyone.

How rare are piebald deer?

Illinois Fish and Wildlife and other management agencies say that piebald deer only occur in about 1% of the population. This is different than an albino deer that lacks the color gene entirely. Quite a beautiful animal that is now a trophy in Illinois.
