Albino buck down...
 

Went bow hunting on my buddy Daves farm... Bucks started coming out right around 4:00PM (peak moon time) and one was feeding right underneath me, and another bigger (but still not a shooter) buck came out a little farther down... I know both these bucks, been seeing them a lot all season. Then something caught my eye at the edge of the brush field... It was an all white deer and it was heading straight for Dave! As the buck entered the slayer seed food plot Dave drilled it. The buck only made it about 50 yards and collapsed. We never saw this deer before, and believe it came here traveling looking for does. It is a 2 1/2 year old buck, but has a tiny rack for a deer that age.

beautiful deer... congrats to Dave!

Kewl deer. Congrats.

That's neat to see, thanks for sharing.

That's awesome, congrats my friend!

It must have been about 10 years ago when I was walking into my hunting up this HUGE incline and could have sworn I saw an albino deer. It was pitch black but I'm about 90% sure.

Congrats, yes, it is a little small for a 2.5 year old, looks more like 1.5, I seen a piebald that was taken this year. I don't know why but In some states it is against the law to shoot albino deer, did you get him in the beets? again Congrats, doc

What a neat deer!

are those radishes?

Not a true albino judging from the pics. Cool deer and congrats! :cool2:

Awesome!!!!! Congrats on the unique trophy!!!!!

Yeah, I agree. Looks like a Piebald by the eyes. May have even been partially blind, but either way, cool deer.



Id have that sucker shoulder mounted.

If you don't get at least a shoulder mount of that beautiful deer you should never hunt again. Because it will never happen again.

very nice.. thanks for posting

Very cool. Have never seen one. Thanks for sharing.

I just happened to see this in the paper earlier today: http://www.jsonline.com/news/wiscons...21.html?page=1

congrats..good looking deer

To answer some questions... This was not a "true albino" Its a "white phase" deer... Kid of like the all white squirrels you see. We had a lot of them in the area until it became legal to shoot them. I arrowed an all white doe a few miles from that spot a couple years ago. And missed another one that ducked my arrow.
There was a news article about the white doe I shot, and I got a lot of hate mail from the tree huggers. But who really cares what they think? They hate us no matter what we do...
The buck was going inyo the food plot when shot... Its not "beets" Its an all season mixture put out by www.slayerseed.com it has clovers, suger grasses, radishes, turnips, etc... It has been awesome since we started planting these plots last year. We found 3 big shed antlers last spring and thats as many as we found all together the previous 15 years. I also shot a buck close to 160 gross going into the plots early season. And Dave got a 120's 9 point early season on the plots.

Hre is a link to the articles and pictures about the hunt for the white doe I mentioned from a couplr years ago in my blog.
