Default Is it wrong to shoot an albino deer?

There are 2 albino deer walking arround my woods. one doe and one 8 pointer. I hear the indians said it was bad luck to shoot one. Any of you guys shoot one and live to tell the tale?

Even if you take him out those genes will still be floating around. What are you looking for in a deer? Albinos generally are a bit smaller but nothing to be concerned about?

Its very bad juju to shoot a white deer. I heard if you shoot one it would be the last deer you ever get. I sure don't want to find out.

I always heard it was bad luck to kill an albino. A few years ago, my uncle shot an albino doe, and a few months later he passed away of....he had a heart attack and was only 51 yrs old.

It ISN'T bad luck to shoot one deer over another. I can't believe people in this day and age still hold onto these old tales. Shoot it if you want. They're genetically inferior and hurt the gene pool.
