RE: Albino/White Deer question?
 
I've seen a few all white deer in my 32 years of hunting, but wasn't close enough to tell if they were true albino's or not. I've seen two piebalds, one buck and one doe. The doe I got a few trail cam pics of, and hunted her exclusively for 9 days before getting a 15yrd shot at her. I never saw the buck again.This ismy second favorite trophy.;)

Illegal to shoot in Illinois. I wouldn't shoot one, my fathers best friend always told me that white animals are considered sacred by most Native American Indian cultures. I have heard there is a herd in New York somewhere, here are a few links.

Legal. Yes....I would kill it.
I'm thinking I would do the same. I guess when I'm put in that situation I'll truthfully be able to answer the question. I've never seen one.

No I would not shoot it.No need to when there are forests full of the same tasting deer.I thinkit would besatisfying enough to watch it grace my hunting grounds.But I would shoot a Piebald though.

Would I shoot it? Not just yes, but #$%^ yes! I don't get someone not shooting it because it is "beautiful" or "rare". Those are the reasons I would shoot one.AB&C class typical buck is just as rare statistically, and a giant non-typical more so. I doubt anyone on here would pass one of those up because of how rare or beautiful or satisfying to watch they would be though.
