Had a friend many years ago who was a DA civilian at Seneca. She was jack-lighting a white buck one night, shot it and the darn thing came to again in the station wagon. By the time she cut it’s throat, it had completely shredded the back interior of that car.

Somewhere in the story it mentions the white deer with black noses. Although not strictly albino, they are protected too, except in the “deer wasting” areas of the state.

The one in Pt. Washington appears to have a pink nose — thus a true albino. He’s just gorgeous and located not too far from where I work. I’ll have to keep my eyes peeled. OOr, maybe clean out my closets and take a trip over to St. Vincent de Paul. I’d drive right through the area where these folks took these pictures.

Serves her right!

amazed by the number of albino squirrels running around.

I saw a blond squirrel once on Cape Cod. Not white -- golden blond. Weird.

This is a mutant deer that must be eliminated in order to protect the gene pool...

Rudolph with your nose so bright, won’t you guide my sleigh tonight...

Sorry, but I couldn't help but think of the Three Stooges:

"Oh, see the deer."

"Has the deer a little doe?"

"Yeah, two bucks!"

I had one of those running around my back yard earlier this year, but I think a hawk got it.

There is a flock of wild turkeys near my neighborhood that has two albinos in it.

Protected here in tn as well

as I wish.Hope it moves over to the TVA property

What a beautiful animal. I would love to have his head hanging on the wall of my den.

I’ve seen one not far from where I grew up. It’s been about 6 years ago and of course the camera I almost always carried was at home. I never saw the young doe again.

i saw a white doe a few months ago grazing in a field on the way home from work

the white ones round here are escapees from the depot where most of them live, sometimes you see weird mottled brown and white ones that have been interbred with the brown deer

none of them are protected but you need a special permit to hunt on the depot itself

We have at least one every year here. We had a buck 3 years ago and a doe last year and this summer. Beautiful animals.

We have a group of white deer around the Fort Atkinson, Wis area. They are truly beautiful and mysterious to see. I had the nasty experience of talking to a creepy man at the local artesian well who said he had no problem killing them and he didn't care about the blankety blake DNR. He sounded like respecting the deer hunting season wasn't something he believed in either, like he would shoot them at any time. Yep, the man was quite the creepy one. I haven't seen a white deer in quite awhile. I hope it isn't because of him.

It's a beautiful animal. The White Deer is sacred and magical according to lore of the Chickasaw American Indian people of Oklahoma.

Though not considered rare at all I saw my first black squirrel up north today. The black fur is really quite beautiful and it was fun to see.

You sound like the typical poachers that I had to chase off my farm, and call the game warden on every year. :P

You must be mistaking me for someone else. I own 120 acres in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan that I hunt on.

BTW: you need to replace your signs. ;-)

Would a low-powered rifle be preferable?
