    11-year-old hunter bags rare albino deer

    Could you if it was in range? Not sure, something about the rareness of an albino that needs to live on. Of course there is the "bad luck" superstition. What's everyone's thoughts?

    They are sacred game to natives, I would shoot him but you would never see it posted online or in print.

    No because I would get a big ticket and it would be seized a short time after.

    Its just a deer.

    An inferior deer at that.

    It's going to get picked off sooner or later through natural selection.

    They are not special.

    They are not magical.

    If legal in Wisconsin... and it should be.. yes and I should already have one if it was legal. Not rare around me at all. Its a cool looking deer with poor eye sight.

    Here are the two that I have had around the public land I hunt.

    I wouldn't. Because I'd prefer to have it to look at on cameras. It's just a deer, the white coloration doesn't make it any more attractive to hang on my wall and I have better antlers running around to chase.

    I'd value it more on the hoof as is than on my wall. I'd like to see how he developed in the future.
