I' m curious to why someone wouldn' t take an albino, piebald, melanistic(black) or white deer if given the opportunity. Doesn' t that fall into the relm of anti hunting of sorts. Just an observation now. I understand it' s illegal in many states and that makes no sense to me what so ever. Simply put, it' s a whitetail deer. Why would we protect it over a normal colored animal or trophy buck? Yes, they are more rare making them to me, a unique trophy. Here in PA they are legal game treated no differently than any other whitetail. They breed, they eat, they do damage, etc...the same as any other deer. To protect one simply isn' t doing herd management any favors.

It falls down the mystic of the animal itself....it' s your choice where legal, shoot or don' t shoot. But protect them, why?
