buckeyebuckhntr,
Your statement isn't quite correct regarding albinos in Wisconsin. It is legal to shoot an albino deer, as long as it is less than 50% albino. I wouldn't shoot one anyway, unless maybe it was a trophy. Then it would be pretty cool on the wall.

As far as I know it is legal to shoot an albino but I would call the conservation dept. to check. I wonder who his dad and mother were. I hope you havent shot them you may have the potential for more. All I can say is keep it to yourself or you will have everyone and their brother trying to kill that poor thing. If he gets bigger and you see him again i would be curios if they age the same.

Those are some really cool pics!

Albino is 100% white deer with pink nose hoofs and all.

What you are referring to as less thanall whiteis called "piebald".

There are also ones that are about 99% white that aren't Albino since they don't have the prerequisite pink eyes and nose and hoof.. So in some states that would be a legal kill and in others it wouldn't. I believe it doesn't matter if it is white or a true Albino in Illinois, they are protected.. I don't know when the piebald becomes brown enough to make it legal, never seen one, most likely never will but it would be interesting.

wow, thats cool

RE: Albino Fawn (pics)
 

What does that mean? Its either albino or not. If it's not a "true" albino then its pie bald.

That wouldn't matter to some hill-jack country-bumkin. He ain't abidin' by now laws. He'll shoot it just to show it off to his hillbilly, inbred, uncle/cousin.

They are the SOB's that ruin it for the rest of us.

how beautiful is that....thanks for sharing.

the albinoism doesnt effect anything like aging or physical size but it can effect the eyesight alot because there eyes cant tolerate sun.
