Hunter shoots albino.
 

A guy from Chicago shot an albino buck near my house a couple weeks ago near springfield. I hear the only reason its not making press is because he is good friends w/ blogo which doesnt suprize me one bit being from chicago. It frustrates me so much knowing if it would have been like an average joe it would be all over in papers. But i guess the way he got caught is he took it to the taxi to get mounted and the taxi didnt want to do it because he was afraid they would yank his license so he called the athoritys.

Are albinos illegal in IL? In Indiana they're perfectly legal as far as I know???

RE: Hunter shoots albino.
 

yes they are illegal in illinois. for what reason i have no idea its just bad genetics.

RE: Hunter shoots albino.
 

Yes they are, but then again he's a friend of the gov.

Who is the taxidermist???

Where 'near Springfield' is it?

I'd love to hear the story on this one.

...he doesn't have friends in Springfield, the guy must've come down this way to go slumming.

Very good point!

RE: Hunter shoots albino.
 

his friend is from chicago like i posted in the original post. i dont know anything else about it and i dont think its a rumor.

Just because someone knows the governor does not give them the right to commit murder. Or, did you mean an albino deer?[8D]

RE: Hunter shoots albino.
 

i looked it up in the springfield paper ,could not get the whole story ,but from what i was able to get .the deer was not a full albino ,as checked of by conservation and thus was a legal deer to shoot .

I think its funny that there as people holding a little get together tonite in Panther Creek Clubhouse to watch videos and share stories and pics of the deer they called "Al". there is flyers going around here wanting people to attend. I think its just a big joke it was a legal deer. I heard wrong i thought it was an albino at first and now some guy is trying to take it to court?

RE: Hunter shoots albino.
 

In Illinois it does!

RE: Hunter shoots albino.
 

i don't know if i could shoot aalbino. i always heard it was 8 years bad luck on hunting.

RE: Hunter shoots albino.
 

If it is true then there would be a CP report and that would be fully accessaible thru freedom of information act and newspapers use that all the time.

Now the part I do not believe...............

BLOGO HAS FRIENDS?!

Hunter was not from Chicago. He was from the area and a retired policeman. I spoke with the taxidermist recently and all is legal.

Local CPO checked it all out anddeer was not deemed to be albino due to brown spots on head and hocks.

Once again, everything about the deer and hunter was legal.
