It is completely legal to shoot albino in Ky.There really is no reason for it to be illegal.:eek:

I would shoot the albino because I would already have had her on the ground before the buck got there.:DBUT if he kept coming,man what a hunt that would be.


I know a person that shot an albino and then turned around the next year and shot another out of the same stand.Then another friend shot one a year or two later from the same woods and I am not sure but it might have been the same stand also.There have been albinos beeing shot from this particular area for years.The gene is in the herd and they keep popping up.

I would shoot the buck for sure! I would be happy to just see the albino!

If you want them both shoot the doe first. No buck will leave a doe in heat, even if she did drop dead right in front of him.

Whichever one had more meat.

I would say the buck because if he only had eight or nine points and he scored 140-150that would be a huge buck and I would much rather look at that on my wall and just show people a picture or maybe some video footage of the doe.

I would certainly take the albino---if it was legal. They are ten times as rare as a mature buck.

id take the buck. I had a chance here 2yr ago to harvest a albino buck and i passed. I had no desire at all to kill it i know they are a mutated gene but they are so rare and cool to watch. the albino would walk everytime around me.

RE: Albino or Buck?
 
Actually, I changed my mind. It would be hard to shoot something that rare. At least with bucks you know there will always be more that can grow. Albinos may not be there for you to see again. I guess I couldn't really say whether I'd take one or the other.
