I shared the picture from this thread on Facebook. A friend in Salt Lake City shared the link to the video. Beautiful creatures.

With that coloring its surprising it lasted long enough to be that size. Beautiful buck....

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

Did you forget the sarcasm tag -- I hope?

We are truly blessed around here, despite the ugly politics, white deer and bald eagles right in our own back yards.

[afraidfortherepublic]

I see that white deer, it's going down.

I sincerely hope you don't mean that.

[afraidfortherepublic]

Thanks for the story.

“... blonde squirrel on Cape Cod... weird”

Revlon #24... because she’s worth it.

Oh, no. albinos are mutants and the gene pool will be stronger without them.
Just that fact that they no longer have adequate camouflage should make that
clear. Without gov’t protection, they would be eliminated and still may by
predators.

Anthropomorphism serves no purpose in nature.

Looks to be a true albino.

Looks like Edgar Winter around the eyes.

How's that Vegan lifestyle treating you?

Because otherwise the only a$$hole on this thread is you.

“We called them ghost deer where I grew up...’

I can imagine at night... with some mist, they would look ghostly.

The problem is...as a hunter..even the piebalds are illegal to shoot.

So...it's still legal shooting light, and I whack a big buck @ 200 yds..and get up to him, and he's got patchy white hair on the opposite side that I saw.

Then I'm in trouble with the law......It's a bunch of crap.

[Osage Orange]

What about I just shoot it with an arrow???

What about a "low powered" rifle?

Spear?

SUV?

Pistol?

I've shot my share of deer over the last 30 years. If I saw something like that, I'd be too busy trying to take photos of it with my smartphone rather than shoot it with my 30-06. Some things just have too much beauty, rarity, and mystique about them to treat in a regular manner.
