Silly cracker. Albinos are reserved for hunting by “indigenous pipples.” You know, the Great Circle of Life and all that (which no cracker can ever be a part of).[/sarc]
To: southernmann
Thats a rather liberal point of view. You think it’s special so the world must conform?

Of course not, I just said why not wait for the next one?
To: Chode
When I lived up north it was still a good place to live fairly independent. Odd jobs could pay for electricity for your house and gas for your car. Between the steelhead, salmon and walleye runs you could fill a freezer. Deer, turkeys and geese hunting could fill another and most did exactly that. I used to take my S-10 pickup out and fill it with 5 gallon buckets of morel and beefsteak mushrooms for canning.

BTW I’m getting Oceola township mixed up with Oceola county where I lived.
Oceola Township is 30 or 40 miles NW of Detroit. I lived in Oceola county a way south of Traverse City.

Why wait for the next one? There is a reason You want him to wait for the next one. And you said what it was. You see it as something special. So “Of course not” isn’t applicable here. “Of Course” is. Because that is exactly your rationale. It’s special/cute/rare...all comes down to your belief in it’s greater value over other deer based on a birth defect.
My belief is not. So should your belief or mine be the decider here? Answer, neither. The decider made his decision. Because he didn’t have any good reason not to.

Personally I would not want to kill such a unique animal.
Spare me the “gene pool” issues; I am aware. I still would not do it. Better an animal that needs it get it, FTM. Easy pickings for them. Although, with 12 points, seems he’s reached some level of maturity.
But I certainly would not disparage this boy much less disgusting death threats! It is just an animal, and a wild one at that.
It is what it is. Macht nichts.

Thats just dumb. No one said there should be a law or anything, just why not wait for the next one, since many people think an albino animal in the wild is special.Taste the same.

As long as they eat the venison...who cares?????? It won't be, it's trophy hunting. I don't care for it, personally. Hunting for food is one thing, taking a life for a stuffed, mounted animal hide is another.
There are "hunters" down here who will shoot a buck, saw off the rack, cut out the tenderloin and leave the carcass where it fell to rot. That, imho, is disgusting and wrong, and for similar reasons.
Honor the life, use the meat and as much of the animal remains as possible. Dispose of what's left in a respectful manner, both for the creature and for the neighbors who don't particularly want to have to clean up animal remains dragged up into their yards repeatedly.
To: RegulatorCountry
Eating the venison implies taking the edible off the carcass.

Do you seriously believe that very many at all eat meat from an animal sent to a taxidermist? It just doesn’t happen much at all, the practice is controversial.
To: RegulatorCountry
It won't be, it's trophy hunting.
I don't see where they said they won't eat the meat.
The place I used to take deer for butchering used to ask if you wanted the hide preserved for a trophy mount. In fact they have a 16 point full body mount inside the door that one of my friends gave them. My friend couldn't afford to have it processed so they took the hide in payment.

Carrion is not wasted...multiple predators and scavengers consume it and that's assuming they did what you suggest...which is a rare occurrence venison is too revered and the carcass has inherent value. What you suggest is one of the main argument anti hunters use to disparage the practice!!

It is a very common practice for the taxidermist to freeze the meat for their customer.....do you hunt? You don’t sound like you know a whole lot about the sport.
