Did I see a Albino moose?!!
 

I was checkin my trapline-antler hunting when I stumbled upon this white moose...Attachment 9399 Attachment 9400 I took these pics with my cell phone so sorry about the quality. Click on the pic to see it up close.

What do you think? Is it albino?

We have white moose up here. Could not tell from that picture.

Denis

Mabye it was molting.
I dont know
I have seen some bleach white deer at my house over the past 2 months but have been told they are just losing their winter coats.

was it bumpin into tree's and stuff...cause i herd they were blind and deaf..:s11:

Well it was walkin through the brush sooo I dont know.
Seemed healthy. :rolleye0011:

I've seen one in the fall that was a greyish/white on the back, had a calf of normal colour. In the spring it can be from ticks, bald spots, sometimes some huge bald spots result from them rubbing off ticks. Results in a lot of spring die offs as they have no coat left to protect them from the elements. Had one here in northern Alberta about 10-12 yrs ago. It kicked the krap out of the moose in a pretty large area up there.

I tried to edit the pic and although I can not say for sure it doesn't look like a moose to me.. Just by looking at it's nose makes me think it is something other than a moose.. I still can't say for sure though. Here is the edited pic anyways..

What do you think it is? :confused2: I promise you it is a moose. Their was another regualer moose behind it.

I think it's a Hyena.

JK....likes like a piebald moose. I've seen piebald deer and moose in the past. If it was albino it would be absent of all color and the nose and eyes would be pink.

It really does look like a hyena. :P

Cool pics though.

Your right it does look like a hyena!
But if Gen saw a reg. moose behind it than it probably was a moose.

it is hard to tell from those pictures, but i think it is a albino moose, I have seen two or three different albino moose in Utah. But it is difficulty to tell from those pictures.

In Utah? :bash:

Good Point

But what if it escaped from a zoo and is going around on a killing spree........
Just Kidding :lolabove: :biggrin:

looks like a piebald moose never seen moose but I have seen piebald deer loox like it to me anyways

Explain to me this new word introuduced to my vocabulary "piebald"? What is that? Molting?

I don't think its an albino, but a calf molten after its first winter. I have seen a couple calves up here the same way and they both were with the cow. Their are albino moose but I've never seen one other than pictures, but they do exist.

Skullman, now thats an albino. Bad Ju-Ju to shoot an albino.:s10:

Bobby

Cant shoot them up here.

Denis

That's amazing! I've never heard of an albino moose before. I have seen albino deer on my property though.

Their not Albinos just White

I don't think the original is white or a piebald either. I have seen them in the spring with very light coats and with the sun reflecting it just looks light to me. It's just to small of a picture to be sure though.

We used to go to Horwood Lake close to Timmins. Went there 7 or 8 times fishing and 3 times bear hunting. We saw white moose 2 or 3 different times.

Pro-line that is were i took those pictures, which outfitter did you use up here?

Denis

Denis,

When we originally went we were with Jack Wade at Big Bear Camp. Then Bob and Sandy bought it. (Their last name escapes me)

Then we went to Horwood Lake Lodge (formerly Midemiers) when Barry and Cindy Edwards owned it. Then Dale and Denis owned it the last time I went which was a few years back. Now somebody else owns it.

Probably more info than you wanted...LOL

All new owners up there now.

Denis

:sign0018:
Were getting off topic guys.:happy0001:

We have them up here, not too common but there are around... Could be an albino with ticks, the past few winters have been mild and played hob on the moose! Here are a couple pics of a white cow with a couple regular calves...

I know you pulled those off the internet. I have seen those pics before. nice try though.:hit:

I didnt say i took the pics, but they came out of Montey BC, which is a few hours north of my place! Those are the only digital versions i have of them though!
