So if everyone says to kill it how does the phrase "If Its brow its down" work?

I would love to take albino! As a matter of fact I may just be taking my first piebald in a week or twoWe have apiebald doe that as started poping up out back where I work we have seen it quite a few times in the past couple of weeks she has been feeding under a whiteoak just about every afternoon and I have permission to hunt it.I would most likely get a full body mount (imo) it would make a very cool trophy.

Sooting a albino in Iowa is illegal

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.

About 15 years ago, my dad shot an albino doe. All white with brown speckles. Sort of looked like a brittany spaniel. He's still alive and has taken about 50-60 deer since. About a dozen of these have been very big bucks. I would shoot either one in a second. I took an all white squirrel 2 years ago. It's beautiful, not a grey hair on it. Saw it twice, got video of it then harvested it. First time I've ever gone after one particular squirrel. I consider it a greater trophy than my huge 8 point or my 12" beard gobbler. there are a lot of big bucks out there but albinos are very rare and make a great trophy if legal in your area.
