Default Albino Moose!

There are pictures on www.superslamcountdown.com Does this occur often in Moose? Anybody have statistics of it in different game populations?

Here's the pics again. They were taken near Chapleau Ontario. I moose hunt near Chapleau at a place named Foleyet, Ontario. There are also white moose in this area. I have personally never seen one but reports of sightings are not uncommon. It is unwritten rule in the area that these moose are not shot. If you're interested in a pictoral account of a moose hunt in the area have a look at www.moose.funtigo.com gg.

They are some neat pictures. It looks like the cow had a regular calf? I often wondered about moose and elk being albino. I havent seen and elk yet but now I know that it can happen in moose. Very cool. Here in PA people say you have 7 years bad luck if you shoot an albino deer. I guess it would be like a lifetime of bad luck to shoot an albino moose.

Some feel that taking an albino deer or moose is an extra measure of success and would make a very desirable trophy. gg.

Down this way we occasionally get a white pigmented (Not Albino) Red deer. Figure that one out????
Has anyone come across a white Elk?

NB: In the evolutionary process Elk are descendents of the Red Deer.

Seen one in Eastern WA last year turkey hunting, one of the neatest things I've ever seen in the wild!
