Looking for it several times a day, the local critters really seem to enjoy the "deer corn" we've been leaving for them. To avoid greed and fights, the Pres makes seven piles in and around the trail they've made in the snow.

If you don't know what a Piebald is...according to Wikipedia...
A piebald deer is a deer with a brown and white spotting pattern that is not caused by parasites or diseases. They can appear to be almost entirely white. In addition to the non-standard coloration, other differences have been observed: bowing or Roman nose, overly arched spine (scoliosis), long tails, short legs, and underbites.
