RG,I've saw them before when we used to go to thecommisary at the Depot. They are reall neat.If I remember correctly from some article that I haveread they are not an albino, but a a true whitecolor phase of whitetail. I have a friend who lives upstate that has two of the white bucks mounted thathe got there while stationed there. They are reallygourgeous.
Those are incredible pictures Bob! I have a similar experience that I can share here.I live in a very rural town in NH and one morning two years ago I was out to feed my pheasants in the back yard which I was raising to train my dogs with.It was a typical spring morning. Nice sunny crisp day. When I went to unlatch the door on my flight pen I felt like something was watching me. I looked up into the treeline and there was a big doe standing there not more than 30 feet away! Around here that is not a strange thing to have happen. We have deer come through the property daily.I thought to myself that was cool but I was completely unprepared for what I saw next when she started moving on. She had a fawn with her that was "pie-bald"! It was completely white with the exception of it's head and cape which were the usual brown!I saw that little deer nearly everday that spring. Later on after talking to my neighboor I found out that it had a twin that had died early on. Apparently, there was/is a 6 pt pie-bald buck in the neighboorhood that is fathering more of his kind.The truly sad part about this story is that the little fawn I had been watching was shot on opening day in the fall for somebody's trophy wall. It weighed less than 35 lbs. Being a deer hunter myself, I knew that would happen but deep down was hoping that people would let it go a season or two to at least make it good table fare too! Seemed like a waste to be taken so young...
