that's cool you let him go..but someone else prob wont...sorry to say. Is it considered a albino without red eyes? or just a piebald? Im just curious...very cool pics though thanks for sharing.

Full body mount! Awesome deer though

I would have passed on that deer too. Interesting to see what that deer would develop into. Also nice to give others the opportunity of seeing it. Thanks for sharing.

Great decision to let him walk, I didn't know that they let you shoot them in the CWD zone. The story that you had him walk right by you and let him go would be more valuable than shooting him IMO. I hope he can grow and you get to watch him for a long time!

He's a beautiful deer. Albino deer have pink eyes but its so hard to actually tell the eye shade from the pictures.
We had a white deer that used to hang out in one of the fields. Never did get a good look at him to see if he was piebald or fully white. I did see a white crow the other day though! That thing was wild looking! |

There really isn't any biological reason not to shoot him. Piebalds and albinos have a recessive gene. But then, if you like having him around, by all means hold off on shooting but don't expect others to if they get a crack at him. 40 acres isn't a big patch of land for him to stay on all the time. Don't be surprised if you see a pic of him in the paper with a smiling hunter next to him. |
Very cool pictures.

I obviously don't know for sure, but I'd say it's an Albino. That deer has a pink nose and I don't see anything that should be white that isn't. You can't see it's hooves though. That would be telling.
