Default RE: Is it wrong to shoot an albino deer?

It would depend.

This spring, I saw a piebald doe on one of my turkey hunting grounds, so I tried to hunt her this fall. I stopped in to talk to the landowners, and found out that the lady that owns the place had been watching the "speckled deer." I didn't wanna be the guy that shoots Mrs. Speckles, if you know what I'm sayin'.

That said, if I was out on the public land, and saw a white shooter buck, he'd eat it. I shot a buck on public ground with a few white spots about 5 years back, and it was pretty neat. Had 3 out of 4 white hooves and a couple white blotches.

So yeah, I'd shoot one, but I wouldn't wanna be "that guy," the ignoramusthat killed the neighborhood's pet white deer, either. Nobody ever wants to be "that guy."
