RE: Albino or Buck?
I would defiantely go for the albino. I think piebalds, albinos, etc. are awesome (if you couldn't already tell by my name) and it's like myultimate goal in hunting to bag one. lol
Last year there was a melanistic buck running around here that any one of us in my hunting group could have shot, but he never survived through rifle season, because he got hit by a car [:'(]
I think it's stupid that in some states you can't shoot albinos. Why save them? They'll only pass on defective genes to the herd, same goes with piebalds.

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.

I don't understand why they would be protected state wide???

I'd shoot the buck. Earlier today I posted a video of a racked albino. There is also a pure white doe that I havn't caught with the camera yet but I will!

Its legal in sc..i think... but i would still shoot the buck bc around here the does, 99% of the time, come back. Some times they just stand there and dont run off so i would most likely get both. If not, oh well atleast i got the buck and its more likely for that doe to come back than that rutting buck.
