"Hey Moose, where's the squirrel?" Is this cool or what?

Wow. Should be in pretty good shape once the snow falls not?

So the question is, do you shoot it?
It is said that an albino white-tailed deer is good medicine.
I shot one during the early bow season years ago and proceeded to have a disastrous rest of the season.
I'm guessing the "good medicine" part only applies to Native Americans (Or as some refer to themselves as, "People".)
I know now that I don't need to waste any money to determine if I have any Native DNA in my genetic code...

I wouldn't shoot it. I've given a pass to far less spectacular creatures! Sometimes it's just more fun to watch.

Had a friend of mine also shoot an albino buck.His very next deer the following season was a boone and Crocket buck.

Seen one out side of Anchorage back in 1990 was very cool experience, especially that it was one of the very first moose I had ever seen


Every day is a gift from GOD, don't waste it!!

If they have plenty of food, give them something interesting to smell

There was a bull like that out in eastern Canada here a few years back. Some guys bagged it (who the heck wouldn't!!?) and the locals about crucified them. Terrible public outcry.

The "curse" appears to only last one season. I killed a dandy the next season. It was the biggest buck I've ever seen on the hoof.

When I was a kid, I had a good friend that kept telling us about this albino buck he was seeing during bow season. He kept letting it go and telling us he wasn't shooting it and taking a chance of having bad luck all season. I kept telling him to put me in the tree if he wanted a closeup look. After some convincing, he finally shot it. Ended up having the best hunting season he has ever had. He said if that's the kind of bad luck shooting one is gonna give him, send him 10 more.

I sympathize with some of you that think it should be let go because it's pretty, but albino is a recessive gene, and not a good one to have in the gene pool in my opinion, but to each his own. One day, I hope to have one to hang on my wall.

The fact that albinism is caused by a recessive gene lends this defect inconsequential to the gene pool. The only disadvantage is to the individuals which are the definition of white, making them easy to pick off by predators. Their is some evidence that suggests that eyesight is less than a normal white-tail.
Being recessive, albinism cannot become anything but a very rare occurrence in the wild.
