If the deer was shot in the wild I am surprised that it lived that long. Usually oddities like that do not survive do to the extra coloration. THey cannot hide from their natural enemies. If it was shot on a reserve then it may have been bred to be a Calico because the submissive gene can be bred.

Oh yes, I heard about this. I think the deers should of been allowed to live. I mean if something is rare and you kill it. You are stopping otghers from having the joy of seeing the animal.
