A potential powder keg on social media comes when a hunter tags a piebald or albino colored deer. As a society we value these genetic oddities, and they are legal to hunt in many places. So what's the best way to handle this once in 3 lifetimes opportunities? That's a question you will have to answer for yourself, but Paul Sereda tagged a piebald deer back in November and he joined the podcast to talk about his experience.
