If it were legal i'd shoot the doe. Not because i wanna brag that i shot this rare and mysterious doe but to keep the gene from being spread to other deer and limiting their ability to hide from predators.

RE: Albino or Buck?
If I remember things correctly, the shooting of an albino is what caused it to become illegal in Iowa. A hunter who shot an albino deer was "featured" in an article in the Des Moines Register. He stated that he had a trophy buck and the albino in front of him at the same time. His flippant remark was that he could shoot a trophy buck any year, the albino was one in a lifetime. The next legislative session brought about the 50% rule:a hunter can't shoot a deer that is more than 50% white in color.
I feel that this is not based on sound management practices. Careful what you say......
