Albino
ive heard its "unlucky" to shoot an albino, ive seen a handful in person, while driving! But never in a stand i see i got one on trail camera this year!! Just wondering what you guys think about this, do you guys shoot them, if you did would you eat it and/or mount it?? and for what its woth its a doe, ive killed about every kinda game around here so it would be prety cool to say ive killed one but not sure if i am or not

The meat should be just fine, the color is just the lack of pigment. And have it mounted. Good Luck. |
yep i would shoot it. do not dress it if you plan for a full body mount. let your taxidermist do the cutting.

If it's a full albino it may be Illegal to shoot it. Check with your local D.N.R. and ask. It would definitely be a full body mount if I had the opportunity to shoot one...

Its not unlucky, thats hogwash. True albinos are very rare, most never see one. What most people see are piebalds - which have white on them in varying degrees - from just a little, to being mostly white. I've seen quite a few piebalds over the years where I hunt, even killed a doe that was mostly white with my bow about 10 years ago. Never seen a true albino. Some states do have laws against true albino's, that is correct. Good luck!
Oh, and I did have the skin tanned on my doe, looks really cool! |
thanks guys
