When deer hunting season starts Saturday in Hanover, whitetails will be in the hunters' sights, but two white deer named Snowflake and Snowball better not be. Deer culling is a top priority in the Morris County town because the animals destroy plants, carry ticks and cause car accidents, yet the 20 recreational bow hunters lined up for the task have been asked to spare two mostly white deer that have become favorites among township residents.

white deer are defective and should be culled first.

piebald deer are somewhat common at the old Seneca Army depot in Romulus NY

"I'd describe them as almost looking spiritual." said said Mayor Ron Francioli.

Is it *legal* to hunt deer with a machine gun in your state?

[Brilliant]

The policy seems racist to me.

New Jersey law gives no special treatment to albino or piebald deer. Neither do hunters, said Anthony Mauro, chairman of the New Jersey

We had a couple living in the forest on my grandparents north woods farm back in the 30's-40's. We called them "Ghost Deer" - which is what the Indians called them.

My grampa was a Maine Guide. No one killed a ghost deer.

Now, in the area I live today, There's a big white buck that comes through my woods. The locals know he's here - but no one talks about him and no one would shoot him.

Just because there's an opportunity to grab - or kill - something, doesn't mean it's right.

geezum crow.

How many shots does it take you to bring down a deer?

[Gaffer]

Lemme guess, two quick bursts from of 3 shot auto AK?

[atomic_dog]

Loaded with slugs.

This is going to create human driven evolution to white / albino deer.

[Dusty Road]

That was done with a single shot.

Clear case of suicide by hanging if you ask me. The key is the granny knot in the rope.
