Shot an albino Eastern Chipmunk 3-4 years ago. Caught what I'd call an albino Bowfin once. Shot a piebald Grey Squirrel 5-6 years ago. Shot a piebald Ringneck Pheasant on 1979. Blew a chance at a piebald buck in 2015. We have another one here in the area this year.

He was not quite albino, but I caught this leucistic groundhog.

He's a cute little fellow.(the possum that is).


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

When I was operating my ADC business one of my main sources of income was trapping ground moles. I dealt with 2 species Easterns which were much bigger, and Hairy Tails. Caught about 2,000 a year.
There was one subdivision I trapped that seemed to have a lot of genetic issues. I caught several piebold and tailess Eastern moles.
The neatest one from a yard there that all the moles seem to be tailess or piebold, was an albino one with pink eyes and feet. At first I planned on having it mounted. Then I decided to have it freeze dried.
It came out great and is light as a feather. It was cheap as well. Much cheaper than mounting. In fact it looks like it was mounted.
I bought a small plexiglass case that was made for displaying model cars to keep it in

This is as close as I've got

I'd rather take it with antlers, if it's going to grow any

Not an albino , no pink eyes or nose, but the whitest one I’ve ever seen.

I’ve trapped two albino coons in my trapping career. Got the first one mounted. Sold the 2nd one for $100.
