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

I would take it if it was legal. I have never seen a true albino in the wild, but have seen probably a dozen different piebalds over the years. They show up pretty regular where we hunt. I have seen them with color ranging from just a little white, to almost completely white. In fact about 12yrs ago we had a big old doe around for a few years that was completely white except a brown spot on her head. I did take a piebald doe about 6yrs ago with my bow. Got the hide tanned, it is about 75% white and looks cool. One of the guys I hunt with, his son killed his first buck ever 3 years ago. A piebald spike. He got it mounted, looks great. I didn't see any last year or the year before, so we are probably due for one or two to show this season.
