Albino
 
I've got an solid white albino 8 pointer that I've watched come out with three P&Y bucks every night for the last 5 nights to eat in a bean field. Now this bean field is in a very populated area and everybody and there brother knows about him and has been watching him from the town hall parking lot. I've got permission to hunt him, but I've got a few questions.

1. How long will they stay on the beans?
2. When will they split from the bachelor groups?
3. What's the likely hood this deer will make until I can legally have a chance to take him?

Did I mention there is a 10 pointer that will go at least 21" wide? I'm setting 2 trail cameras tommorrow and pulling them next saturday. I'll post pics.

Since the NC season opens so early, they should still be on summer feeding patterns since it will still be pretty warm. I think they will start breaking up later in the month.

I'd shoot whichever one decided to give me a shot first!

RE: Albino
 
believe me I will, but that ablino is beautiful. I want a full body mount of this deer. Fingers crossed, I'll get some good trail cam pics of him and I'm willing to bet it'll win a few photo contests. From 200 yards I'm scoring him somewhere in the 90" range.

NCRemington700 08-01-2008 08:09 PM

RE: Albino
 
90" on an albino is a GIANT! I would definitely do the full body too.

Keep an eye out on the boards next Saturday for trail cam pics.

Which is it? There are no other abinos than solid white however there are white deer that are not abino. Do you know it's an albino and not just a white color phased deer? Just askin if you knew there was a difference. Reading the way your wrote it, a piebald is not an albino.

He probably will stay on those beens through your NC opener unless some outside forces push him off.

Good luck with him, I wish you the best. Despite that bigger buck you mention, me personally I'd exclusively hunt the albino/white buck. :)

Just let me know when you wanna come see him/them. "Powder" is a regular, the big one was out tonight as well but missed him last night. I'll be there everynight between now and the opener daring bystander to set foot on the property.

Rob
He's solid white except for his antlers. Zero brown, he looks like a piece of cotton walking through the field. What sucks the most is he sticks out like a sore thumb from several hundred yards away.

That's one thing about a white/albino one. They do stick out in a green enviroment.

Brandon, I wish you the best on him cause that truly is an incredible animal. I'd love to see your bow laying across his chest.

Brandon:

Shoot me your number in PM. I'll come over Monday or Tuesday (actually...Lisa's day trippin' tuesday...so that might work out best).

I'd love to see him/them. Thanks.;)

NChunterman 08-01-2008 08:52 PM

RE: Albino
 
Thanks Rob. I have a feeling someone will take this deer out illegally prior to the opener. If we could get a little more rain the beans will grow just a little more and they will be shielded from passing traffic. It's in a very strange area, the town hall's parking lot goes directly into the bean field.

RE: Albino
 
I've got video footage of him just gotta get a guy at work to put it into a usuable format to up load to photobucket and share with the HNI community.

NChunterman 08-01-2008 09:19 PM

RE: Albino
 
Aaron your more than welcome, just let me know when you will be near my area. Best time to be there is 8:15 until dark. Tonight he was roaming all over the field by dark he was about 90 yards out with about 17 does and three GIANT bucks.

buckmaster 08-01-2008 09:24 PM

RE: Albino

NChunterman 08-01-2008 09:28 PM

RE: Albino
 
Will do. Just let me know when you guys wanna come. I may never see him again but he's been a regular for a week now.

Well, if he's that good of a deer, and ain't been killed YET, I don't think you have to be fretting ("What sucks is......"), because he didn't get that big being stupid, and LOADS of guys would kill him even as a yearling because he is a different color phase!!!!

Good luck on him, have you noticed whether or not his eyes are "Red/Pink" or not??? That's usually the determining factor of PURE albinism I thought.



NChunterman 08-02-2008 06:20 AM

RE: Albino
 
OH~
I can't see his eyes through the binos. I've used my nikon's and my father's Leica's and for the life of me I can't tell what color his eyes are. I did notice last night that it "looks" like maybe he has a brown patch on his head between his horns, but I'm very very not sure. From his nose to tail and down to his feet he's solid white. I'm headin over at lunch to make sure they are bedded down and puttin some black magic out in front of one cam and some corn out in front of the other cam. Keep and eye on the boards next Sat. when I pull the cams. Then you tell me what he is.

Brandon,

Good luck getting him before the poachers do... he should be around the first week of bow season in the beans

Found an awesome dealer in Ennice, NC that will beat anybody's price and add all kinds of accessories. I bought a brand new RAZR 800 EFI, 2 Fee helmets, (KBC), free windsheild and top for 8g's out the door @ 2.99% fin. Plus a free 2 year warranty bumper to bumper. I couldn't resist.

My buddy bought his girl an 330 loaded with wheel kit and accessorie box free helmet and he got an 06 800 EFI sportman free helmet 6g's for both out the door.

Another buddy bought an 08 500 sportsman HO matte black with wheel kit and full brush guards and 2 helmets for a little over 6g's out the door.

RE: Albino
 
He did buy the 06 800 for $3000. I almost left with an outlaw 525, That guy let me ride some wheelies on 18 with it. That thing is a wheelie monster.
