RE: albinos and pibalds
Everyone' s responses are pretty much what I believe also. I would love for my son to take this buck if the opportunity presents itself. (If he doesn' t I would.) I promised him that that deer is his for the taking so I wont shoot, just watch.
There is a population of white deer that live neer Seneca Lake in NY. Somewhere aroung the army base?? They are not true albinos since they have black noses, brown eyes, and black hooves. Almost like a piebald but they are entirely white, from what I understand. Also, from what I' ve heard, there is an entire population of them not just one here and there. Maybe it is the same gene that makes the piebalds down here just more prevelant. Every year I say I' m going to make a day trip up to the area but I never do.
Anyway, thanks for ll the input. Hopefully my son will take the trophy of a lifetime on Saturday. If not, we' ll have fun trying!! If successful, I' ll post pictures.
