I’m not sure, but there probably aren’t that many cougars or wolves in that part of Mi, it’s only an hour from Detroit, Lansing and Ann Arbor. If there were more predators, than being an albino deer should have resulted in his being eaten while it was young, wouldn’t you think?
There are predators ten minutes from most cities and that deer could be as young as 6 mos. to a year!! The average life span of a deer in the wild is 1 1/2— 2 1/2 yrs. Hunters take very few deer...the season is only 1 to 2 mo. Most deer succumb to predators or weather mostly cold weather even given that the deer population has never been as high as it is right now. It is rare that I go out and not see deer on the side of the road.
